Vortex Optics With a Lifetime Guarantee!

We carry a range of Vortex binoculars that will get you up close and personal with the Rio Grande Valley's spectacular birds, whether you're in your backyard or out in the field, from youth/beginner models to those with best-in-class HD optical systems.

  • We carry binoculars with 8x magnification, which is generally recommended for birding, especially on land. Higher magnification produces a shakier image. 
  • Why we love them: Vortex optics provide bright, clear imaging, they're tough, and just in case anything should go wrong, they come with a fantastic lifetime warranty to protect your investment.
  • The Vortex promise: "Should any Vortex® product become damaged or defective, we will repair or replace the item at no charge. It doesn’t matter how it happened, whose fault it was, or where you purchased it: The VIP Warranty is fully transferable, no receipt needed, and covers all Vortex® binoculars, spotting scopes, monoculars, gear, and apparel."
