Review Summary

Rated 5 out of 5

Great Quality

This spotting scope provides grood clarity at long distances and performs well in low light. It is a large spotting scope so I do not carry it in my backpack as planned. However, I keep it with me on my ATV and use it to scan mountain draws looking for deer. If I spot deer in the distance, I use this spotting scope to decide if the buck is worth pursuing after. This saves me a lot of time from having to hike for a closer look.

High quality at a reasonable price

Bulky and not idea for packing, this scope provides clear and crisp image. Adjustments are easy to use and can't beat the VIP warranty!

Incredible optics and customer service

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

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.

Very good hunting binoculars

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

Great for hunting and long range

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.

Wow

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!

The greatest optics value out there.

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.

Good entry level bino

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.

Best low light binos that I've used

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.

A pleased user.

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.

Crisp!

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!

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...
