Q
Scott, guest, from MS, United States, asked on November 25, 2021

What is the difference between the 2018 model and the new, current model?, and is there any difference in the quality of the binoculars. Thanks, Scott

Expert Answer
A
Answered by Hunter, Gear Expert, from OH, United States, on January 05, 2022

The main difference is that with the new models of the Vortex Viper HD 10x42mm Roof Prism Binoculars is that the field of view at 1000 yards increased to 341 feet and they come with the glass pak binocular harness. They still have quality glass and the Vortex Lifetime Warranty.
