Go to Bass Pro or Cabela try few pairs in your price range and go by what feels right....i got my Dimondbacks on ebay was cheaper than buying in store...
Where I walk, everything appears in grey...Loosen all hope, you who confronts me!
I have a 10X42 Diamondback and love them. had them for 6 years and no issues - through rain snow sleet and mud.
I had the old style 10x42 diamondbacks aswell for 4 years and loved them. Just sold them to a buddy and bought the 12x50's
Easy there... Just providing info. No bashing going on...
I don't mind inexpensive optics. I own a few vortex items myself.
Read my Post #8 for the inexpensive options I mentioned.
Good thing about 2019 is that there are plenty of inexpensive options out there.
It's not hard to buy decent optic for around 300
my diamondback binos were not good to me, failed twice due to different issues and both times vortex sent me a brand new pair...I sold them the second time
In the price point the OP is seemingly looking at I think the bushnell legends are a good value, same glass as the elites but in a different body
Unfortunately, the rifles are getting lighter because we are getting heavier and more unfit as a society. This is the key to the mainstream acceptance of the short magnums. - Nathan Foster
vortex is just a marketing company they do not have their own factories where they make and assemble optics. Shop sell them because of the huge profit margin. They have so many warranty claims and they still make money because they can afford to replace three or four units in 10 years per person and still have a profit.Lots of people like them but most people I know have had to send in for warranty including myself a couple time
I did some intense research on this subject , and at that price range Porro Prisms beats Roof Prisms . Porro Prisms because how there made will be twice the binocular at that price. I would get the Leopold Yosemite, here is comparison between Vortex crossfire, Vipers and Yosemite.

I'm on year 6 on my Vortex Vipers and just had my first warranty return, I dropped them at the range and broke the little loop that the strap attaches to. Sent them back and they fixed the loop, re-purged and cleaned them up like new and I had them at my door 11 days from the day I mailed them! K
get the 10x42 diamondbacks you wont be disappointed
