The Vortex Fury binocular has been discontinued by the manufacturer.
 A very similar binocular of good quality, similar size and weight, and slighty lower price, is the Vanguard Spirit Plus 8x36.

We feel this is an excellent replacement for a binocular that was very popular.
Vortex Fury 8x32
Overall Score: 4.01 (0ut of possible 5.0)
A best buy. The Vortex Fury is one of the least expensive models in the survey, but it has good (4.0) optical resolution, excellent ergonomics, a wide 412-foot field of view, and close focus down to 4.9 feet.
The diopter setting, behind the focus knob, is easy to see and adjust, with a scale and micro-click adjustments. With 16mm eye relief, it works well with glasses. A birder could be very happy with this binocular.
Pro: Good optical quality at low price, perhaps the best value in the study; glasses friendly.
Con: The diopter adjustment doesn't lock.
NEXT: Leupold Yosemite
