Vipers failed? That's surprising. I have a few Viper and Razor products, typically those lineups are pretty bulletproof. The only Viper I ever had fail was a scope after 900 rounds of 50 BMG.
Knowledgeable shooters agree- The 375 Ruger is the NEW KING of all 375 caliber cartridges. ALL HAIL THE NEW KING!
If I were in your situation, I would be looking hard into the used market. For new, Zeiss Terra, Maven, Leupold BX are good values. Leica Trinivid are a bit out of the price range, but can’t beat them for the price
Another vote for the Maven C1s -- Ive been happily impressed by them. Great price point in my opinion.
Got a pair of Athlons 8x42 that punch above their weight
I have some Steiner Predator Extreme that for the price I have been extremely impressed with.
Visions usually has good deals on Nikons. I have some Monarch 5 10x42 that usually go on sale for about $400. I think visions has the HG model for a little over $1k.
I compared my M5 to a friends Maven 10x50 and I wouldn’t say they were anywhere close to 4x plus the price.
I ended up buying two pair of Bino’s. first pair was a pair of Steiner predator 10 x 42 for my stepson and the second pair was meopta optika 8x42 For my daughter both are excellent glass Made in Europe
