Vortex Viper HD 8×42 Binocular Review

The Vortex Viper HD binoculars are the rare Goldilocks binoculars. They’re neither too small, as some highly portable compacts can be, nor too big as some of the mega-chassis 15-power binoculars are. Instead, these occupy a very happy, just-right spot in between not only sizes and optical performance, but also pricing. Meet Vortex’s Viper HD. We’re going to talk mainly about the 8×42 model, but I’ve been hunting with its big brother, the Vortex Viper HD 10×42, for years and because the only real difference is magnification, all the perspectives of size and performance of the 8X apply equally to the 10X. Note that the Viper HD line also has 10×50 and 12×50 models. The Vortex Viper HD represents a region of the binocular market that’s relatively underserved by manufacturers. They have given us plenty of entry-level optics, made with forgettable glass inside polycarbonate bodies that adequate optical performance but an appealing price, generally inside $250. Then we have the heirloom-class binoculars, often made by European brands, that cost 10 times that amount, but have spectacular glass surrounded by lovely bones. Vortex Viper HD 8×42 Binocular Review
