I have owned a couple dozen vortex optics, still have 9 or 10. I have one Nikon scope on my .22, but thats been on there forever. Their warranty keeps me coming back, along with price point and quality. I have warrantied a scope with them and it couldn't have been easier. I dropped the rifle on the floor and bent the tube, they sent me a new one, no questions asked. Plus you get the Glasspak included. What more could you ask for?
Leica, Zeiss or Vortex binos?

I have a pair of Zeiss 10x42 conquest that are over 10 years old. Clarity is good and have no plans on replacing them anytime soon. Have had some experience with vortex scopes(Diamondbacks and Viper) and ya there alright but the clarity isn't close to the zeiss binos, bit of apples to oranges but personal experience.
I had Leica 10x42 for many years until they disappeared suddenly. I was going to replace them with Leica, Ziess or Swaro but after using a pair of Vortex Razors I decided the extra cost didn't merit any extra benefit. Basically I couldn't tell any real difference. I still have a Ziess spotting scope that has served me well for decades and hopefully that doesn't depart me.
Also, I have had to send optics of many brands to be repaired including Leica, Ziess, Swaro, Leupold, Vortex, Bushnell....

And not 10x42 imo.
8x42 for the win imo.
Having to hold 10 power binos while glassing will be less stable and heavier than a 8 power.
You can run with what bearhunter wrote or you can research it further and in the end it will be your decision and your alone.
