[QUOTE="frozen4sioux, post: 233332, member: 1293"] After sending in my Nikons for the 83rd time to have eyecups replaced.. the binos are in the shop during hunting season. it's time. Nikon refused to just send out replacement eyecups and that has inspired me to seek a new brand, for everything. My budget has a hard ceiling that I have already stretched to about $600. I know my buddy's Swaros are crazy good, and his backup pair of Zeiss is awesome as well, but thats not financially possible. I feel I can get a quality improvement for my limited use in that range. After research I have kind of narrowed it down to 3, wondering if there is any feedback or reviews Leupold BX-4 Pro Guide 10x42 Optifade $600 - Calcium floride glass - METAL eyecups Vortex Viper HD 10x42 $500 - ED glass w/glasspak case Scheels brand Vortex Rage 10x42 $500 - In store warranty I'm really curious as to the differences in the vortex models, sure seems like the Scheels branded pair were a bit clearer and the ability to walk in and walk out with a new pair for warranty would be a nice feature. Any feedback would be appreciated. [/QUOTE]
