### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very good at reasonable price
*by M***R on June 27, 2026*

They are really quite good. Very clear and not too heavy.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome clarity and magnification
*by D***T on April 21, 2026*

Clarity is amazing. 12x50, can really see across the way.Objective Lenses are so big that I have them pretty much touching so my eyes line up with ocular lenses. Very nice though. Nice weight, feel really well made.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nothing short of great glass from Vortex!
*by T***R on November 19, 2025*

Amazing set of optics. For me, they were a little bit pricey but if you look at these compared to the world of optics as a mid range budget option especially on sale for $225, these are just amazing. Very clear glass with all the adjustability and functionality you’ll ever need and the carrying case is an awesome bonus. I can differentiate a spike from a doe at over 250 yards out early morning no issue with the 12x50’s. Photos through glass do not give an accurate depiction, everything was much larger and clearer when looking through your own eyes compared to pictures I could get through them with an iphone camera which ranged from 25-100 yards shown. These are also very durable I dropped them probably 5 times just in a weekend hunting trip and survived perfectly fine sitting on the dash of a 4x4 being zigged and zagged all around on the dirt roads. I mean it’s vortex, everyone knows they make quality.
