Doug, I'll be calling in an hour for a set of the 8x42's for a test run. Has anybody else at 24hr used these? A $129 Phase Coated bin with a 420ft FOV will be interesting.

We've sold a bunch of these in the past few months to members and they have seemed to like them.

I have the 12x50 vultures and they are a poor mans big eyes, performance well in excess of the price. You will need to spend at least $800 to match them.

Dave, I had the 10x42s and really liked them but simply couldn't hold them steady enough so I sold 'em. At 60 it seems my upper limit is 9x. The 8x42 Diamondbacks are REAL tempting although I have no need for them

Guys--The Vortex diamondbacks are WAY MORE glass than you expect for the money. I have a pair in 8x42, and they go head to head with my pal's Zeiss Diafuns.

Daveh--Maybe so to your eyes. But the Diafuns also cost a LOT more than $129. That was my point.

Quick Update.
These Diamondbacks are truly a STEAL at $129 mine have NO coloring flaws and optically are amazing. IMO you will have to go a step above the Eagle Optic Ranger/Pentax WP/Celestron Regal to better than. In the few minutes I compared them last night to a set of Leupold GR HD's in 8x32 I really thought they were as contrasty. Maybe a tick less bright and colors not quite as saturated but VERY-VERY good. I believe I'll order some 10x's.

I recently purchased the 10's a couple of weeks ago. I love the things. They are impressive to say the least. Haven't had to chance to use them at last light but I have to say it's some of the best money I have spent in some time.
The only problem was that maybe I bought them a two weeks to early.
LOL
