Lovely binos. Just in case you're interested, Diamondbacks (usually 10x42) are a firm favourite with some South African game wardens, because of their optical/mechaincal quality and their ruggedness (and, I guess, the transferrable lifetime guarantee) .

That’s good to hear. I watched quite a few YouTube videos on the Vortex binos before I ordered. Somewhat naively, I expected to see lots of birdwatchers and astronomers testing them out. What I actually found was loads of red-neck hunting types. I watched some really bizarre stuff. But they all concurred that they were great binos, so job done, albeit in a strange way 😀

Glad you got them and the initial impressions are good. like I said, I really enjoy mine. I have multiple Vortex products and I am a very satisfied customer. Enjoy!!! Now you just need to wait out the cloud cover. Or you can do what I do in the meantime and zoom in on the dog, the plants on the shelf, the children sitting in the chair next to you just so you can creep them out.  

Ahh so im not only 1 does that lol🤣

 

Ande enjoy your bins mate

I know what you mean. I've seen the same videos. Some are entertaining and then some after a while leave me scratching my head wondering why I just wasted multiple minutes watching someone unbox a pair of binoculars. Did I really learn anything? I never understood those unboxing videos. Thats just me though. I've personally never really found them particularly useful. Your mileage may vary.
