Vortex viper hd 8x42 - Vortex Optics Viper HD 8x42 Binocular

Purchased the Viper Vortex HD 8x42 binoculars for a wide variety of uses. I needed an upgrade from a low end pair of bushnells I have been using for the past five years. To say the vortex are a major upgrade is an understatement. These binoculars are phenomenal and for the price point it outshines anything in it's similar category. I tested several different bino's and these blew them away. Even my fathers leupolds at double the price take a back seat to these binoculars. I use these for fishing off the beach (scanning the beaches for breaking fish) off the boat, for hunting here in the northeast, some birding, wildlife viewing and general landscape viewing and so far they have served me well in all aspects. Great light intake to keep a clear view and a good FOV. Also if you're like me and spend a lot of time outdoors and tend to abuse your equipment in the elements, the vortex warranty is great peace of mind.
