Appreciate you checking out our optics - The past few years have presented some unique challenges for not just Vortex, but companies both within our industry and elsewhere. With rising material costs, supply shortages and inflation all playing a large role in our daily lives, you may have...
We appreciate the kind words! As you noted, we hope that you never need to use our VIP Warranty, but we know our optics are being used in extreme conditions and accidents and want to make sure that we have our customer's backs. If you ever have any questions or need any help, please don't...
Thanks for checking out our binos! While I can't speak for other manufacturers, if you do have any specific questions on the Diamondback HDs, or any other optics in our lineup, don't hesitate to reach out!
Check out the Razor HD LHT 3-15x42 for your setup. These bad boys are weighing in at 19.1 oz with our Razor HD line of glass. It also has an exposed, locking elevation adjustment and capped windage. You'll be able to find these at dealers for $999.99...
If you're looking for another FFP optic, the Razor HD LHT 4.5-22x50 FFP is designed specifically as a lightweight hunting optic. It will also be a step up optically compared to your Viper PST while only weighing in at 21.7 oz. These will sell in stores for $1,499.99...
Great question! You certainly would be getting more magnification, but you would be sacrificing optical quality, weight, and packability by making that move. It would really depend on what is most important to you.
That's a great question! Most folks that do not wear eyeglasses will run them out either all the way or not quite all the way, but this really depends on face structure and how you hold the binoculars to your eyes. If you run the eyecups right under your brow and have them resting on your face...
We appreciate you checking out our lineup! The Viper HS 2.5-10x44 is one of my favorite optics for hunting here in the Midwest. It has great eye relief and an extremely wide field of view which makes it great for hunting in thick cover. While most people using this optic are hunting in closer...
We appreciate you checking out our spotters! Both of those you mentioned would be perfect for what it sounds like you'll be using them for. If you plan on packing them with while going on trips or hiking in Yellowstone, the 65 mm version might be the better choice as it will save you a bit on...
Thanks for checking out our gear at Sportsmen's! You should notice a big jump in clarity, resolution, and low-light performance going from the Viper HD to the Razor HD lineup.
If you have any questions on our spotters, please let me know! :)
Thanks for checking out our binos! While I can't speak on the other binos you are looking at, if you have any questions on the UHDs, please let me know!
Great question! It is not possible to add a locking turret design to a turret system that doesn't already have that feature. If you are simply looking to leave the turret exposed, there is no harm in simply removing the cap and keeping it in your pocket or pack.
I see that you don't necessarily...
