Vortex Optics Vanquish 8 x 26 Binocular
Not sure why I want any binoculars as I have a couple of pair of old
Bushnells ad Nikon. I recently broke my main hunting binoculars, Bushnell Custom Compacts 7X26. Since I do not hunt anymore I don't really need them, but sometimes on a short trip they would be handy. I do not want anything larger than the Nikon Travelite 8X25 or the Vortex Vanquish 8X26. I have never used Vortex binoculars, but they are well reported on the bird forum I frequent. http://www.birdforum.net/index.php Anyone here have experience with the Vortex Vanquish 8X26 or the Nikon Travelite binoculars? Thanks, Jerry

I have the Diamondback line of binoculars. I compared the Vortex side by side with Nikon of the same size and power. Amazingly clearer with the Vortex. Go for it.

Thanks, I have received the impression that Vortex was the better of the two. It is also reported that Vortex has one of the best warranty and CS of all.

Everything I have read indicates that the Vortex warranty is without peer. I might think it is like the No BS of Dillon.
Thanks, Jerry
