He said "pair of binoculars" when he obviously only meant one binocular. Crucify him! Crucify him!

Pretty confident I'm going with the Leica Trinovid. I appreciate everyone's input. Just trying to decide now if I want the new HD version or the previous standard model.

Also looks like I messed around long enough that I missed buying 8X. Kept telling myself I didn't need them as I have a great set of 8x32 Trinovid BA's....

Way overdue for a new pair of binoculars for hunting and general purpose. Looking at the Leica Trinovid HD 10x42 and the Vortex Razor HD 10x42 ... with the Vortex being slightly more expensive. Anyone here have preference of one over the other??? The Trinovids are a very good deal for the money, Leica's warranty not so much. At some point in my experience binos will need to be serviced--regardless of brand. Casey

May want to take a look at the TRACT Toric. You don't need to spend $1000+ to get the quality you want. When I first started posting here I got quite a few less than favorable comments my way when I stated our Toric is equal to, if not superior quality than the Razor, and rivals the SLC. Thankfully we have had great support from Members here and on other forums, who have all backed up my claim. The TRACT Toric 10x42 is $664 at that quality level. Just means $300-$400 more for other new gear...  Lol

Have the Leica 10X42s, nice glass fortunately haven't had any issues. Some friends have had Leica warranty battles, when I upgraded to 15X I went with Swarovski. They've been back for service twice (I'm kinda rough on my stuff) in 10 yrs. A big part of the extra expense is standing behind the product. Swaro may be the leader in CS. I've split the eyecups twice and torn the objective covers, 1 phone call had replacements in 3 days. Swaro offered to send loaners while they were being worked on.

If the Vortex Razor HD's are comparable in quality & performance then I'd like to know what their customer service is like also. Warranty work and CS issues being handled quickly and with respect towards the customer means everything to me!

I have have used Leica CS several times and no complaints. Not on the level of Leupold or Swaro but not bad.
