Combining comfort and low-light performance, the Burris Optics 12x50 Signature HD Binocularsfeature phase-corrected 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 bright and crisp, high-contrast images with accurate color fidelity, without comas or halos even in challenging lighting conditions—such as at dawn or dusk or when looking into heavily wooded areas. Add to this impressive performance a field of view that approaches wide-angle, a comfortable eye relief, 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.

To help improve grip, strength, and overall stability, Burris built these binoculars with an open-bridge that opens the middle of the optic to allow fingers to wrap around the tubes and dual hinges that support the front and rear of the tubes to keep the barrels parallel and aligned. The optical tubes 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.
