Burris Droptine 10x42mm Binocular | Rugged Hunting Optics

Description

Burris built the Droptine 10x42mm for people who spend real time behind glass. The 10x magnification pulls in the fine details across a canyon or a treeline without piling on extra weight, and at right around 20 ounces these are easy to keep around your neck from dawn glassing until the light drops. The easy-grip rubber armor gives you a solid, no-slip hold, even in the rain or with gloves on, and the metal eyecups are a nice step up from the flimsy plastic ones you see on a lot of budget binos.

What the Droptine 10×42 Glass Delivers

Under the armor you get BAK4 roof prisms paired with fully multi-coated, index-matched lenses, phase-correct coatings, and dielectric coatings. In plain terms, that combination hands over bright, high-contrast images with true-to-life color and good edge-to-edge clarity. The 42mm objectives gather plenty of light for those first and last hours of the day when game tends to move, and the 4.2mm exit pupil keeps the view usable as the sun gets low.

Built to Take a Beating in the Field

The optical tubes are nitrogen-filled and O-ring sealed, so these are fully waterproof and fogproof through big temperature swings. Field testers have left them out overnight in freezing cold and had them clear up with a quick wipe come morning. The ultra-rugged body is shockproof too, which matters when your binos are riding in a pack or bouncing around a truck cab.

Easy Handling on Long Glassing Sessions

A large center focus wheel and fast-focus diopter make dialing in a target quick and simple, with a close focus down around 7 feet. The interpupillary range works for a wide range of face shapes, and the whole package is tripod mountable with an optional adapter if you want to lock it down for extended scanning. It all rides under the Burris Forever Warranty, which is about as good as it gets in this class.
