Looking for input and experiences with these binoculars. Ranger SRT 8x32 and also to compare to the Vortex Fury 8x32

The 8x32 SRT was my first 32mm. Mine, a few years back, was fairly compact. Remarkable sharpness in the middle. To my eyes they were better than Monarchs. Gets soft toward edges like every pair of its generation.

I really don't know, I had one Fury but they all seem to be different depending on size.

The Vortex models are in some flux, so some new Fury may not be the same as old.

Tero if that is the one you sold me, my brother is still using it and loves it.

Yeah that one. I had good times with it too. It went to the hike to Grand Canyon with me.

I had been looking for a canyon wren for some three trips, so I got it with those binoculars, got good looks too. Rock wrens had been easier to find.

Was on the EO site and notice that they now have ED Rangers. I don't recall seeing them when I checked out the site a little while back. No reviews on the site yet for any tf the ED Rangers of any size.

I actually enjoyed my 8x42 Rangers, still use them though they are relegated to being back up bins now. Eye relief workable with glasses although on my last pair of glasses I discovered that I needed to twist up the eye cups a notch so that I wouldn't have the kidney bean effect.

My experience - the Ranger 8x32 is a nice compact bin for hiking and traveling about. It fit my hand very comfortably, however I use the Ranger 8x42 for my all purpose glass. also have a 6x32 for kitchen window viewing.

The new Ranger HD appears identical to the new Vortex Talon HD. What might these offer that the Atlas ED lacks (at $100 less)?
