I would argue that they are.
A few yrs ago, a buddy bought some brand new Monarchs for our Mule Deer draw. We hunted hard for about 11 days. In that time we had brutal weather that went from Rain-snow-Freezing etc. By day 3 his Binos were fogged internally. By day 8 he couldnt see out of them at all........On day 9 he fired them over the bank into the river!
He was then limited to the use of my spotting scope for the remainder of the hunt.
This draw takes about 6 yrs to get, I think next time he'll invest a little money into some quallity optics.
I will hazard a guess that anyone that doesnt think that Swarovski optics are several times better than a $300 pair, has not put in a lot of time behind the glass. I'm talking as in several hrs per day for several days in succession (serious glassing). Not bouncing around on a dashbboard, or using them on a 2hr hike, 5 times throughout the season.
6mm's...too big for the small stuff & too small for the big stuff
