Nice and clear glass. Lens coating doesn't seem to impart any tint. Construction and adjustments feels solid. Good light transmission for most uses. Almost everything looks good in full daylight, but this also functions well in low light. Field of view is somewhat narrow.

I had already bought a pair of these exact same model binoculars from a different store and found them to be exceptionally clear and bright. Was disappointed with the ones I bought through this site. Definitely not the same quality... not as bright and clear as the older ones. There are some differences in the outer appearance and material too I believe that these are imitation "Vortex" binoculars and not the real thing. Disappointed.

I originally bought a used pair of 10x42 Swarovskis from B&H for $1,800.00. I don't care about the brand name of a product; I care about the quality. And while the quality of those optics was quite high, I didn't think they were much better than the Zeiss Terras I owned and which were a fraction of the price. I returned them and got a new pair of Vipers. For half the price, I saw no difference in quality. Maybe my eye isn't that trained, but I suspect most people opt for the Swarovskis because the name. In my opinion, Vipers are just as good.

I'm fairly new to the hunting optics game, but after looking through these side by side with Razor HDs, and talking to various people about the difference, I was told that it wouldn't be worth it (for me, at least) to move up to the highest level. If, however, you hunt out West and spend hours behind your glass regularly, it may be worth moving up. I spent a few hours this past weekend looking around a lake, a few hundred yards across and probably a mile or so to either end, and I could clearly make out what I was looking at. Very impressive.

I purchased these binoculars to replace a pair of Leica 10x42s stolen in Minnesota. These specs are every bit as good and about $500 less expensive. A fine product from a Wisconsin-based company who really knows their craft. Maybe I'm the definition of "geek" but I'm thrilled with the performance and feel of the things while chasing birds. And yeah OK, they look great too in dark green.
