Guys the new Vipers are out!!. These do have better glass and wider field of view.
Yea, but made in China now, right?
Guys the new Vipers are out!! https://www.sportoptics.com/vortex-viper-hd-binoculars.aspx Let me know if you have any questions. Very happy to help you. These do have better glass and wider field of view.
Ben:
Are you a new sponsor on here ? If so welcome aboard. If not, then ?
Vortex to me has never been a consideration. There are many other better
choices.
Vortex is big among hunters, but I know more about optics, and have been around longer than most.
And now, the made in China thing is a big turnoff.
Nobody has ever sold a China made binocular for more than $500.00.

Did they change chassis material from fiber glass to Magnesium alloy in the new Viper HD?
I wonder how the Meopta Meopro HD 10 x 42 compares to this new Viper?? I dont think the Meopro is made in China, correct??
They don't state chassis material in either the specs or the promotional video for the new version of the glass which would lead me to believe they are of the same composite material as before.
