day late on the cyber Monday deals, but I'm hoping to save a few bucks on a pair of binos or at least find the legit price range for the pair I'm considering. TIA.

Which pair are you considering?

Sportoptics as mentioned and opticsplanet are probably two of the best places to check first.

Opticsplanet was running a deal on the Vortex Diamondback 10x42 over the weekend. I dont know if they still have it marked down.

ETA: They still have the deal. Almost 50% off a damn good pair of binoculars. LINK

This is a great deal on a great pair of binoculars. I bought two pair when they had this sale last year and have been very pleased.

www.dvor.com/
sign up at Dvor, sometimes they have good deals on optics and lots of other stuff. Heavily geared toward tacticool and AR builds. They do have some Leupold hunting scopes on sale right now.

Vortex Diamondback 10x40 DB205 Binocs. Looked at them at Bass Pro Friday but missed the in store sale by thirty minutes


I looked at the ones in your link as well. Both are really nice but the 205 seemed to have better clarity IMO.

The ones in the link show D241. What is the difference between these and the 205? Anyone know?

I think one is 10 x 42

I had a small problem with a pair of my Vortex binos this past week. Sent them a Facebook message from the stand, fully expecting to have to have the original receipt and original box.

They replied Monday morning that if I could send them in they'd repair them at no cost, or if I wanted to install the part, they'd drop it in the mail if I'd just give them my address.

Stand up folks!

I would go a step up over the vortex DB and get a Leupold BX -3. They have Dielectric Prism Coating where the vortex DB do not. It makes a good bit if difference in low light settings having the coating.

I called Vortex and asked (you can tell i'm busy at work). The D241 is a discontinued model. The DB 205 is the latest/greatest with whatever optics improvements they offer. Explains the price jump.

Optics Planet.

After Christmas last year, I got the Vortex Diamondback 10x42s for $125.

They have good deals all the time.
