You have my attention. These are much more affordable that the Swarovski counter part I've been drooling over for 5 months.

HD, I assume is on pat with Vortex Razor clarity?

What size is the reticle?

From what I was told at DSC, the optics in these would be in the Viper HD class, tops. Not super good, but certainly not bad. One thing I will say for this RF/bino, is that it is the only combo on the planet with a lifetime warranty on the optics AND electronics. That is unheard of. Most have 2 yr electronics warranties and lifetime on optics, but what good is an overweight binocular with reduced FOV if the RF doesn't work?

Nikon is coming out with one as well, and they appear to be carbon copies of each other. I'm sure they're made in the same factory, but this Vortex seems to be the one to buy. No one should expect Swaro/Leica/Zeiss optics though.

HD means "High Density" glass not High Definition.

No Johnny I haven't. These are forecasted to be in before this Summer.

Cleric is right, just because HD in the name, doesn't mean they are the best they offer. Sadly I'm not sure how these are going to be just yet. I haven't seen them, but like many I am anxious to check them out.

Welp, if they're not on par with Razor clarity, I'm back to lusting after the Swaro.

Nikon's will be backed by the same warranty and will be a little cheaper.

Sorry to let you down Jason. They will be a good option, but not the best option.

I did not know that. Thanks for the correction Skylar.

Johnny, Nikon restructured their warranty. They are now offering services commonly found by other manufactures.

They won't. China cannot come close to German manufacturing. Japan, yes...Nikon proved that with their EDG binoculars. These will be good, I'm certain, but no where remotely close to what the Europeans have created.
