I don't think so. I don't recall Vortex ever selling a 7x bin (6x, 6.5x but not 7x).

doesn't return anything.

Didn't I see something recently about some company coming out with a reasonably priced 7 x 42 Roof Prism?

PS: Yes I did. It is the Leupold BX-2 Cascade: http://www.eagleoptics.com/binoculars/leupold/leupold-bx-2-cascades-7x42-binocular

Well i did get the leupold 7x42 maybe i should post a review. They are good but are not for birders. I would say general use. They do have CA and the focus takes at least 2 full rotations maybe even more from near to far. They are lightweight. They are good for general use and hunters but birders need no CA and 2 or even 3 turns of the focus wheel.
I liked Japan made and they feel right in the hands.

I was hoping that Vortex made a 7x42 Viper HD
I would definitely try them

Vortex has the Diamondback in 7x36. They don't have a 7x42.

I did check the Diamondback, I think they are ok. I was hoping a mid to high end like the Viper in 7x.
