Vortex Kaibabs

Has anyone ever used the Vortex Kaibab binos? I'm thinking of getting a pair but wanted to hear some reviews first.

Here's a review on them:

Review of the Kaibab HD 18x56 binocular, by Robby Denning

Hey Roksliders, I'm always looking for ways to get hunters into good glass without breaking the bank. I believe "buy the best you can afford" but sometimes those last four words in that phrase leave people thinking they're dancing with the ugly step-sister. I've used high-power tripod...

I've used the 18x Kaibabs for a few days guiding....I think Robby's review pretty much nails it....good for the $$..but Swaro is the gold standard

I’m not a fan. Small sweet spot, fit my face weird. There’s better for the $$ out there I feel. But some guys seem to do well with them.

I bought Robby's old 15x56's. I absolutely love them. Great FOV, good glass, and with my eyes I can glass from approx 800 yds to a mile without adjusting the focus. So I would say a wide focus band.

I like them a lot. I want to upgrade to those eventually.

They’re the only non swaro glass I own. For the amount I use the 15x they get the job done for me and I haven’t felt any need to upgrade.

Mostly use them for wide open prairie country white tail, mule deer and antelope. For Vortex they’re pretty decent.

I picked them up cheap / used off eBay a couple years ago and haven’t had the urge to upgrade them yet

Have used the 20x56 for a few years. Same as above, great for the money, but I dislike the eyecups and the diopter focus can be cumbersome. Switched to swaros due to the 'ease of viewing' factor.

I have the 18's. They took some getting used to but now i love them, spend most of my time behind them on a tripod
