I’ve been looking for a pair of budget binos and I was all but set on Vortex Diamondback 8x42’s before stumbling upon the Athlon Neos G2’s. The Vortex’s seem pretty highly regarded for the money, and they’ve got a “no questions asked” warranty. However...
These Athlons are only $90-100. I’ve heard some great things about some of Athlon’s higher end riflescopes, but nothing about any of their other optics. I don’t need anything super fancy, I hunt in the southeast so I’m not glassing miles of terrain. I’d say 80% of my use would be checking to see where my arrow impacted while shooting my bow, and the remainder would be glassing from the treestand and birdwatching when I get bored of fishing.
Anyone able to lend an opinion? Will these serve my purposes, or should I drop the extra dough on the diamondbacks?
