Vortex Binoculars.
« on: November 19, 2018, 09:22:49 PM »
Anyone using Vortex Viper HD binoculars? I am thinking about getting a pair of the 12x50's. What do you think about them? Good quality, worth the price?

Thanks
John

I've never used the 12x50's, but I'm happy with my 10x42's.

I run the Viper HDs and have the outdoorsmans bino adaptor and tripod mount. They are solid, you can't go wrong.

This isn't exactly what you were looking for but I had a pair of 8.5x50 (first gen) and I wasn't impressed at all.  Hard getting a single view and the icing on the cake was elk hunting one year we were in a cut at first light and could hear something moving in it.  My buddy has an older pair of Nikon 8x36 and he could instantly see they were elk, I saw dark blobs.  Grabbed his binos and could see much more clearly and tell they were elk.  Haven't gone back to them since and purchased a different brand of binos.  Don't think I will go back.

As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.

After side-by-side testing, I preferred the Maven C.1 10x42s over the Viper HD 10x42s and they're less expensive. I can't speak to the Maven C.3 12x50s versus the Viper HD 12x50s, but I would expect the same results... in case you want to save some extra money! Mavens are $425 and right now they have a 20% coupon code on their main website.

I have the viper hd 12x50. They are awesome, the glass quality is top notch, and they focus pretty quickly. My buddy has a pricer pair of zeiss binocs and I feel his are quicker to focus. I don't see a real difference in the quality of the image between the two. The warranty is a huge selling point for me personally on the Vortex .
