Written by Contemporary Pursuit Media| 11/28/2022

The Vortex Crossfire HD 8x42 Binoculars deliver the clarity, focus, and overall performance hunters need to maintain a steady view of the landscape and their subject at all ranges. The binoculars come with a chest harness that makes them easily accessible while keeping them safe and protected during transportation and when not in use during the hunt. The binoculars are affordable, costing $150, and come with a VIP no-questions-asked replacement and repair warranty. The image is very clear and sharp in the center, but the outer ring is a bit fuzzy. These binoculars are a great addition to any sportsman’s arsenal.
