Do you mean the 8.5x50 Vulture? This is the only one listed for Vortex on Camera Lands web site and it is currently "sold out."

Vortex has some kind of connection with Eagle Optics which also shows individual reviews of each binocular it sells. No 8.5x50 Viper or Vulture is listed. It may have been discontinued.

There was also a Diamondback 8.5x50 which is also "sold out" at Camera Land.

Seems like Vortex didn't know where to put them.:smoke:

Neither were were very expensive and both had narrow FOVs.

and

In fact they look like the same binocular.
