Incredibly crisp optics, great for birding and more. A big shout out to Vortex! I sent in my old Eagle Optics Ranger binoculars for repair; Vortex determined they couldn't repair them and honored the warranty by sending me a brand new set of Viper HD binoculars. Vortex quality and customer service are unbeatable.

Great Binos. A great step up from the diamondback which I thought were already good but these have great edge to edge clarity and are better in lowlight. The ergonomics are fantastic, feel great in the hands.

Nice unit so far. Can't speak for the durability because I haven't dropped them. Glass is nice and clear. Would recommend.

I got these for hunting the PNW. They work very well and have stayed durable and water right during very rainy Oregon hunts.

This spotting scope has been what I've been using for 3 years for shooting and hunting and it's reliable and allows me to see clearly at long distances.

I've ran these for years and absolutely love them. Bang for the buck, quality of glass and easy is the best ive used.

I normally use these glassing power lines while hunting white-tailed deer. I didn't realize what a difference I would see in the quality of the glass and the clarity at dusk. The price point makes these a great quality choice without an expensive price tag. Beginners or experts will be happy to use these. If I could go back, I would skip purchasing inferior binoculars and go straight to these! Get a quality chest rig and you're set for life!

Vortex is amazing at there cost to benefit ratio. Yes there is better lines within their own organization and better optic manufacturers. However it will require a substantial price penalty for a slight performance gain in my opinion as a weekender. If I was a guide, outfitter, etc. and starring through them for 8 hours a day I may have a different opinion. But for my out West hunts and Eastern Whitetails at home I couldn't ask for more of them. They are slowly replacing Leupold as my go to.

Certainly better glass out there at higher price points but at this point on the scale and with the Vortex warranty you can't go wrong picking these up if you need a decent pair of binos to add to your kit.

These Viper HD binoculars are very clear. Can't wait to use these this upcoming hunting season. Vortex kills it again!

Pretty happy with these Viper 10x50 binos. I'd estimate that the quality of the lenses and the 50mm objective lens gives me roughly 10 more minutes of low light viewing than my old 42mm objective lens binos. I've used binos that have very finicky focus wheels, but I don't have issue with that on these. The focus wheel spins easily and the focus stays true even after pulling them in and out of my bino harness. These Viper HD binos do come with Vortex's Glasspak Binocular Harness. For light use the harness would be fine, but I wouldn't recommend it for extended hiking or hunting. The harness has limited storage capability and no modularity to add bear spray, range finder, etc. I don't want this to come across as a gripe, because it's awesome that they include a bino harness at all, and, like I said, it's a great harness for light use. If you are getting into hunting or if you want a bino harness for extended use, I'd recommend taking a look at other brands out there like FHF, Marsupial, Mystery Ranch, etc.

I feel like I can see forever with this thing. The glass quality is really great. The dials for adjusting focus etc are nice and snug but smooth. I've had this in very humid environments with little issue.

Best scope I've owned to date, crystal clear into dusk and dawn. What else can I say, other than it's great.

Balance issue- CG is~40mm aft of mounting point. Had to make offset adapter plate to stabilize scope. Most users can't or will not do this . Vortex should use an extended shoe for similar scopes. One size does not fit all. On the other hand, the glass is wonderful and the build quality very solid.

Perfect binos for scouting, clear glass. Kinda hard to beat for the price.

After watching many reviews on many different binos, I decided these were the winners in the price/performance tradeoff. I've only had them a week, but so far I've been impressed at the image quality, including early morning, full sun, and cloudy/rain. Can't wait to take back country hunting shortly!

Solid optics with excellent clarity edge to edge. Nice and compact for hunting but still providing the zoom and smooth focus you expect for Vortex.

These binoculars have been great. They have stunning clarity and excellent light gathering capabilities, particularly in dim conditions. I also appreciated the solid build quality and find them well worth the price

I was wanting to upgrade my field glass so I decided to take advantage of a Vortex offer and purchase a pair of Viper HD 10x42 binos. I've been really pleased with them overall, but I guess I was hoping for a bit better clarity in the lenses and I'm not a huge fan of the 'locking' fine focus (mostly because I use the binoculars so infrequently that I forget about the feature and end up fumbling with the optics).

I have loved Vortex products for a long time. After several years of having these binos, I can confidently say this is the best glass I've ever owned. Clear, crisp and they adjust for anyone to use. Most glass I've owned has faded over time and to date these have not. Will be buying exclusively Vortex from now on

There is a night VS day different when switching from a good monocular to a great HD binocular like this.The High Density glass(HD) will make the BIG difference when searching coyotes or deer in dry grass or trees during sunrise or sunset hours where some colors blend with shades. Weighing barely 1.5 lbs makes them my to go for hunting or traveling binos for open fields.Out of the box they come with the neckstrap, eyepiece and objective lens covers the best features are the adjustable diopter...

Best Spotter for the Money
By Jhanson
The Viper HD 15-45x65 Angled spotter is my go to in the outdoors. Whether is scouting, photography, or hunting it meets every task. Perfect size to throw in the pack and get up the mountain. For someone on a budget this spotter will meet every need.
Bring your distant subjects into sharp focus with the 15-45x65 Viper HD Spotting Scope, a premium optical instrument designed for hunters and shooters who demand exceptional performance without breaking the bank. Introduced in 2018, this spotting scope series is engineered to deliver best-in-class optics, offering remarkable clarity, resolution, and color fidelity that will enhance your outdoor adventures.
The Viper HD Spotting Scope features an advanced optical system with HD lens elements that minimize chromatic aberration, ensuring high-definition views with edge-to-edge sharpness and excellent light transmission. The XR Fully Multi-Coated lenses incorporate proprietary anti-reflective coatings on all air-to-glass surfaces, significantly boosting light transmission for brighter, clearer images.
Equipped with multi-layer dielectric prism coatings, this scope provides vivid, color-accurate images, while the traditional Porro prism design maximizes image quality and performance. The angled body design is particularly valued for its ability to lower the mounting height, enhancing stability in windy conditions and offering greater comfort during extended glassing sessions. This design also allows for the use of a smaller, lighter tripod, making it ideal for those on the move.
Built to withstand the elements, the Viper HD is both waterproof and fogproof. O-ring seals effectively keep moisture, dust, and debris at bay, ensuring reliable performance in diverse environments. Argon gas purging prevents internal fogging across a wide range of temperatures, while the ArmorTek coating protects exterior lenses from scratches, oil, and dirt.
For added convenience, the adjustable eyecup twists up and down to accommodate eyeglass wearers, providing a custom fit for comfortable viewing. The helical focus mechanism allows for quick and precise adjustments, and the built-in sunshade reduces glare while shielding the objective lens from raindrops and snow. Additionally, the rotating tripod collar offers adjustable viewing angles, enhancing versatility in the field.
Experience the superior optical performance and rugged construction of the 15-45x65 Viper HD Spotting Scope, and elevate your outdoor observations to new heights.
