Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics 10x42 binoculars

Lantx, a couple years ago I ordered a pair of Conquest HD's and instantly found them to be hard to look through. Same deal as you, finicky eye position so of course I sent them back.

I have the Toric 10x42 HD's and they are not touchy at all, easy view. Much better than the Conquest.

Thank you sir, I bought the pre HD Trinovids after the disappointment with the Conquests. I've been wanting to try the Torics but have been reluctant because of the constant comparisons to the Conquests. Sounds like this may be a good weekend too the plunge. If they can get close to the Trinovids and Meostar Hds performance at half the cost, Tract will have earned another customer.

They're in the hood - I think you'll be impressed.

This does it for me ... I'm ordering a pair! Do I get the 10x42 like I originally planned or go with the 8x42??? Seems like a few are favoring the 8x42.

10% off and free shipping is great on an already decently priced bino!

Go with the original idea!

If most of your hunting is in fairly open area & at fairly long range & you are evaluating heads, get the 10's. Not a replacement for a spotting scope, but does the initial work better than an 8x.

If that's not the case, you can do with the 8's.

For the 1st case, I wouldn't even consider 8's but that just my preference; everyone is different & I am fortunate enough to have both 10's & 8's so I have flexibility.

I just placed my order. Went with the 10x Torics. Can't wait to have good glass this fall! These should be night & day improvement over my Pentax binos I've been using for the past 15 or 20yrs. I was way overdue! Lol

Thanks a lot fellas! Your input has helped me to make an informed decision or purchase. Plus, the 4 day sale sealed the deal for me. I'll let you all know what I think when I get them in my hands.

I have the Toric 8x42. I've said this before, they're one easy binocular to get behind. The sweet spot is huge. They're one of most optically comfortable/generous/forgiving binoculars I've ever looked through. Mine have been out on loan to a client who's doing a huge project with Audubon. These threads have me missing them.

RickyBobby,

Thanks for the oppurtunity to earn your support! My apologies I wasn't able to respond sooner.

Also, thank you everyone that chimed in with the good words on TRACT!


I'll be out of country until the first, but please don't hesitate to call in or use the chat if you have a question.

Thanks again!

I have new Trindvid Hd's and they seem the same to me. I LOVE them!

No problem ... just don't let me down! Lol

Excited to try them!

Torics are supposed to be here tomorrow. Can't wait! Lots of deer currently using my clover field behind the house and down at my lake in the evenings. Excited to start glassing the bucks in velvet around here and also watching the fawns! Perfect timing for the new Torics.

Well RickyBobby.....????? Interested in what you think about them.

Well, I currently have a hectic schedule due to my mom being in hospital at the moment but I did make time to unpack them when I got in from work and take a quick look off the back porch across one of my fields and did a quick adjustment and focus. I was pretty impressed ... They felt excellent in the hand! Then it was off to the hospital for the evening. It may be a couple weeks before I get chance to work them hard and will report back. For now my mom needs me.

Take care of mom. Best to you and to her.

Absolutely.

I think it would be hard to make a truly bad choice from the bins he presented, but I'm anxious to hear from another Toric user to see what he thinks of them!

I also go with the 10x42, but I'm a western hunter and typically have a lot of open ground to cover. On the other hand, I usually bring along a Leupold Yosemite 6x30 if I'm spending a day hiking through timber - they're also great for a loaner or backup.

Well, I thought I'd post some pics of my Tract Toric 10x42s for any folks considering them. I am really surprised by the size of these binos compared to my old Pentax 20x50s I've been using for the past 15 or 20yrs. I was definitely due for new binos and this is one of those purchases when I'm already asking myself why the heck I waited so long to get some decent binos. Lol! These Torics feel so great in my hands I can't even begin to describe it! I've had some chance to view wildlife from the house already. Yesterday evening I watched 3 turkey down by my lake for a good half hour or so and this morning I got to watch a buck in velvet feed across my Clover field by the house here. Very clear pic with sharp edges and great color contrast. Plus, most my viewing so far has been from inside the house looking through my windows ... can't imagine results I'll get once I get outside with them! I love the way the eye cups adjust in and out also! My old Pentax had the rollback rubber eye cups and these Toric have 3 spots that just twist and lock into place ... way better than what I'm familiar with. The Torics came with a super nice and well made neck strap that looks comfy too but I chose to order Tracts binos harness and give it a try. I've never used a bino harness before and thought it'd be nice to give one a try ... especially for my hunting purposes. Anyway, I'm posting pics of some side X side comparison with my old Pentax so you can all get an idea of the Torics size. Also, a pic of my hand for size comparison.











Man, I can't wait to get out in the field with these things and test them for brightness in the last minutes of daylight for clarity when hunting!

..... I'll try my best to keep you all updated the more I get to use them in the field
