Viper 8x42 - Vortex Optics Viper HD 8x42 Binocular

I got these to replace an older 10X magnification $120 pair of porro prisms and couldn’t be happier. The picture is clear, bright, and much sharper than others I have used. I use them to spot birds at my feeders as well as watch wildlife back in the woods. The 8x seems like a great medium between magnification and steadiness. I plan on using then for hunting as well. The detail allows you to really pick out animals through a lit of branches and trees. No reflections internally and the picture is sharp much closer to the edge of view than with a cheaper set.
