Vortex Viper 10x42 Binocular

I've had these bins for several weeks now and they are by far the best I've ever owned. The brightness, resolution, and clarity are way better than my 10x50 porro prism bins. They focus amazingly close for the backyard birder and the 10x magnification is great for in the field. My wife loves the adjustable eye-cups, first pair of binoculars she's really been able to get a clear look through without having to take off her glasses. The ergonomics and build are top quality and I have no fear about taking them out in any climate or condition. You can spend 4 times as much on the Swarovski, Leica, or Zeiss, but to me this was the best bang for the buck and you can't beat the Vortex warranty.

Gotta say that the customer service at EO was top-notch answering all of my questions honestly (even recommended these bins over a more expensive pair), price-matched with another online merchant, and made it a pleasant purchasing experience from order to delivery. A+++++

I decided on the Vipers because of excellent user reviews and a salesman's recommendation. I must say the Vortex Vipers are "ALL" they are suppose to be. The image is nothing short excellent, and I could not be happier with my purchase.
On more than one occasion while viewing Moose, eagles, Sheep, Wolves, Bears, etc. I heard some one in our group say that they could not see the critter at a distance with their Binocular. I offered mine for a peek. In each case the response was "WOW" these are great binoculars.
I highly recommend the Vortex Vipers they will surpass your expectations.
