Burris Optics Signature High Definition, Fast Focus Binoculars 10x42, Flat Dark Earth (300293)

I have friends and family with binos ranging to prices over $2000. I have always had good luck with Burris optics and feel like you get a lot for your money with them. These are great binos for the price and I have a hard time telling the difference between these and most of the binos I tried in the $1000 range. Images are crisp and low light performance is also excellent.

Save your money and get another pair of optics instead for this price range. Right out of the box, tested it by viewing a white sharp edged corner of a building 50m away. Very visible color fringing purplish-orange was noticeable. When viewing brightly lit trees in the same distance range like one would for birding. All the leaves were edged in purple-orange. Rather distracting. This is compared to my partner's pair of Nikon Monarch M5s which were slightly cheaper. They showed clear and clean greens and whites.Granted, the CA doesn't appear visible for the centre, perhaps half the radius from the centre axis. So if you are focusing only on a single subject and not looking outside of the centre circle, the object will appear true to color.If you look at the top edge of the gray building, the color fringing is noticeable. As well as off the green plant on the right upper edge of the roof.I bought these based off reviews that commented it was comparable to Vortex Vipers so would seem to be good value, with the warranty considered. Regretted this purchase. Would rather have got a pair of Nikon Monarch M5s or coughed up a bit more dough for the wider FOV of the M7s.I'll likely have to fob these off a a cut-rate price on my local marketplace and buy a pair of Nikons.If you're buying these for maybe target shooting, could be worth the money, maybe not. For birding and nature, get another pair.Only saving grace is the forever warranty and decent build quality.

Really clear and gathers light well.

Item better than stated. Terrific transaction. Thank you, A+

This was my first set of binoculars with bak4 prism lens. I can honestly say they look amazing. I had never used a binocular that could be properly adjusted to my face and eyes. The image is sharp and clear. Great product.
