I just purchased a new pair of Vortex Vulture 8.5 X 50 Binoculars and they are amazing. The clarity of the binos is the best I have seen. They are clearer than The Steiner line that my hunting buddy has. I would urge anyone thinking of buying a new pair of binos the at least check out the Vortex line-up. I think you will be pleasantly surprised by them. The only downside is they are a trifle heavy. Gary
I'm in the process of testing the new Vortex Crossfire 2x pistol scope for Liberty Optics. I'm using the 500 S&Wmag and to date I have put 250 rounds out of it and zero problems. Optics are as clear as any of my Leupy's at about a 3rd of the price. And to top it all off it's a good looking scope.
