I love my Vortex Diamondbacks. I'm sure you'll love the Vipers. Congrats!

BigPig - Any further comments on the Viper HD? Also, where did you end up finding the best deal?

Waiting on Vortex to drop ship them, which is historically slow Appreciate the feedback. Question (for anyone) - What are the pros/cons of going up to the 10X50? Just can't decide which way I want to go here.

Just can't decide which way I want to go here. Heavier, larger FOV, brighter, and more money. Always trade offs. Dicks sporting good has the Viper HD 10x42 for $499 and 25% off. That puts them around $380, which is a steal

I take back what I said about Vortex taking forever to ship, I ordered them Thursday and the arrived today. First impressions, they are very clear even on this cloudy day, like counting the rain drops on the fence 92 yards away clear. They feel solid, feel heavier than 24.6oz and makes me damn glad I didn’t go with anything in the 30oz range. They have a slight rubber coating which makes gripping them easy. They are stiff, like most things Vortex, but I like that so they don’t lose my position easily.
Will update tomorrow, going to take them to work tonight and use them in the dark

Appreciate the review. Interested to hear about them in low light conditions.

Anyone else find it humorous that everyone, on every forum, who suggests an ATN product has less than 10 posts??

I love my Vortex Viper HD binoculars. Usually, I wear them strapped to my chest. I took them off on Friday to put on my rain gear. Somewhere along the way I dropped them and then proceeded to run over them with my mule. Washed the mud off in the sink and they work good as new.
God bless John Wayne!

Hoping Cabelas brings price down to where others are. Looks like they are $100 high. (But I want to use my gift cards.)
