Have almost grabbed the 15x56 Bushys a couple times but would rather have something in the 10x42/10x50 or 12x50 flavor. I know Athlon has a new 12x50 coming out, but not sure the minimum IPD of 59mm will work for me. Would snap up a Leupold BX-T if I could find some likely. But what other options are out there right now?
 
Probably not what you want to hear, but I hate a bino with a reticle. I have a 15 year old pair of Valdadas that the glass and ergos are fine but a giant reticle is there and it's damn near useless.

Id prefer a perfectly clear and focused picture over something with a reticle.
 
Oh my Glory... Doug I'll be giving you call about these soon. I like the reticle, I like the price, and I'd rather go Athlon than Bushnell because stupid arbitrary decisions.
 
I spent some time with the Zeiss conquest HDX’s a couple weeks ago and…..wow.
Glass is right with the prior generation which is really good, reticle can be rotated with a ring on the left side, and reticle was just right to be able to call corrections accurately all the way out.

I don’t need them for my style of shooting, but I want them.
 
The Zeiss are hands down the best 15x binos with a reticle on the market. It’s top tier glass with a reticle at a great price point. I have spent a lot of time behind them and there is absolutely nothing not to like abt them. They ship with a tripod attachment too, so you’re ready to go right out of the box.
 
Agreed.

I was running a demo pair spotting an ELR side stage at our last match and it was an unfair advantage for everyone who asked me to spot for them as I was able to give extremely accurate corrections instead all the other spotters on the line calling “about 2’ left and up a bit’

was too busy to get any through-the-glass pics, but I’ll see when I can get them in hand again
 
The Vectronics Radical X comes in 8x and 10x. If you add the range enhancers, the 10x will become 14x. The glass is great in the Vectors so I'd assume it's the same in the radicals.
