The Vortex Triumph HD won our Great Buy Award at last year’s optics test and I’ve personally tested it against binoculars costing two to ten times more. It’s without a doubt the best cheap binocular available. They’re on sale now for an incredible price that of $75. I’d buy two pairs if I were you — I already bought mine.

Who should buy the Vortex Triumph? If you have only $100 to spend on a binocular, the Triumph is a great choice for whitetail hunting, indoor archery, 3D archery, turkey hunting, and as a spare to keep in your truck. They’re also an excellent binocular to give to a kid just getting started in hunting. 

If you’re trying to decide between the Triumph and a binocular costing about $250, you’ll just have to decide if that slight bump in performance is worth the cost. You’ll see a bigger difference as you step up to $500 to $600 binos and another leap at $1,000. Again, you’ll have to decide how much optical performance you need and can afford.
