Anyone have experience with these?
My 14 year old Pentax were getting a little rough around the edges anyway and this past week I broke one of the twist up eye cups....so, I find myself in the market for a new pair.
I can't bring myself to buy a top tier pair so I'm looking at the Razors....I keep coming back to that "no fault" lifetime warranty.

I have a few Vortex rifle scopes, as well as a laser rangefinder, and have no complaints. I chose them simply due to the warranty.

Cabelas brand 10x42 binoculars are great and are inexpensive plus have a great warranty. I had a pair for 10 plus years till i dropped them out of my tree stand this years. I have a new pair on my Xmas list.

I'm looking for a step up from what I have...the Pentax were as good as I could justify spending in 2004 and now I can justify spending a bit more for glass that performs well in very low light situations. I think most will agree that Swarovski is the best and if I made my living using them I'd fork over the money for the best....
I'm not unhappy with the Pentax...they do pretty well for how I use them but I want a lifetime warranty that will take care of things like broken eye pieces 15 years from now.

Well, I may have just saved myself some money. I decided to do some digging and it looks like the current Pentax DCF SP binoculars have a 25 year "no fault" warranty so I will be sending them in for repair. Lucky enough I was able to find the original box and receipt from when I purchased them in 2004.

Well, I had one of those targeted ads from Amazon pop up and offer me a return special pair of Razors for 30% off. When the package came it was a pair of Diamondbacks in the Razor box. So .... back they went. But, it got me looking again and I came across a company called Tract and did some research, read some reviews and contacted the owner of the company. I ended up buying a pair or Tract Toric 8x42's. Lifetime warranty like I was looking for and doing a side by side comparison with my Pentax they are better in low light. So far I like what I see .... www.tractoptics.com/products/binoculars |
