    Vortex viper hd

    anyone own these binoculars? Considering a purchase. People always say but the best glad you can afford. If this is what I can afford, should I?

    Compare everything in that price range, if you can get your hands on them. I purchased the vortex diamondbacks and couldn't be happier. They have excellent replacement warranty likewise with nikkon and leupold.

    I have the vipers. Not sure if they are the HD's as I bought them 8 or so years ago. I've been very happy with them.

    I've got the Razor HDs. Bought them this summer after my Swaros got stolen by a border inspection agent. I wish I still had them to compare the two side by side, but I certainly have no complaints about the Vortex product.

    I think I prefer Leupold scopes and Swarovski binos, but when you factor in the warranty and the fact that I'm hard on gear, I'm leaning more and more toward the Vortex lineup.

    I have the 10x42 HDs. They are great. Just don't look through anyone's Swaros and you'll be fine. Big mistake.

    I use the viper HD. When I bought them I compared them with the razors and Swarovski slc, I couldn't justify the price difference for the little difference I personally noticed between the 3. But each eye is different.

    I had a set of vipers HD 10x42. They were pretty clear but they fogged up inside and I had to send them in for warranty. I got them back within four weeks. And then 3 months later I had to send them back in for the same exact problem after I got them back I saw them and bought a set of swaros.
