Burris Optics Droptine 8x42 Overview

Combining comfort and performance, the Burris Optics 8x42 Droptine Binoculars feature high-density BAK4 roof prisms, low-dispersion glass, and fully multi-coated optics that work together to maximize light transmission and limit internal light-loss, which all translates to bight and clear high-contrast images with accurate color fidelity. Add to this impressive performance a long eye relief, comfortable exit pupil, twist-up eyecups, and a large focus wheel; and users are presented with an immersive observational experience on the trail, at the range, or in the wild.

Complementing the binoculars' optical properties are construction details that allow them to withstand the rigors of the harsh outdoors; thanks to optical tubes that are nitrogen-filled and O-ring sealed to be watertight and resistant to internal fogging when moving through extreme temperature changes. Their lightweight and durable aluminum alloy chassis is wrapped in a protective slip-resistant rubber armoring, and textured palm pads provide additional grip strength—especially in cold and wet weather. For long glassing sessions, or to free up your hands, these Droptines binoculars can be tripod mounted with an optional adapter.

Burris Optics Droptine 8x42 Reviews

For the price, I highly recommend these.

I have to say I am very impressed with these. Last year I bought bino's from a brand that starts with "L" and was spec'd identical but priced slightly higher, which should clue you in. Due to this, I have been comparing the two constantly and the light these pull in is considerably higher with clarity that is slightly, but noticeably better. I noticed I have an easier time reading posted sign names with these as well as picking out details in anything at greater ranges. They have similar molded rubber coatings, I find them both to be great to hang on too. All adjustments are smooth as glass. My only real gripe would be the eyepiece covers, they are firmer like plastic and do not stay seated as well as the objective side which may be the same material but fits better. The bag Burris sends with is nice and built very rugged with belt loops rather than snaps which can pop off, although I wish it was closer to Molle spacing. It has a convenient and well-placed pocket for things like the included microfiber cloth in the flap which keeps everything inside the bag and clean unlike the "L" branded bag. Overall, I would say that Burris designed the set more towards people that actually use their gear in the field. Not what some marketing people at a big table thought looked good.
