I just now got off of the telephone with the technical people at Vortex. As I have posted earlier, I arranged to buy the 6.5x32 binocular I reviewed. Shortly after I did that, the diopter focus started drifting toward the plus side of the scale eventually drifting to a proper focus of +4.0. At this point I contacted Vortex and sent it back. I spent quite some time on the phone with them talking about possible diopter issues. So the upshot is that Vortex has redesigned the Fury diopter mechanism. They offered to replace the Fury I sent in with my choice of Viper or said I could wait the 4-6 weeks it would take for them to get the new parts and to begin to get replacement binoculars with the rededsigned mechanism. Since I have a Viper I opted to wait. They admitted to finding a flaw in their design and did not pass it off to bad QC at the factory. The girl I talked to did not have any technical information on what was changed. It probably isn't likely she would have been free to say if she knew. So Fury buyers might want to wait awhile for the new design. I'll post again when I get the new Fury.
