Terrible eye relief
I bought because I've used a couple peoples vortex and love the glass. These have good glass, but the eye relief is terrible. The cups dont come out far enough and if you move the slightest bit while looking through them you get black blind spots. You can actually see better though them if you have the binos slightly off your face, but I cant do that and expect better for the price. I looked up other reviews online and found other people complaining of the same issue. Surprised such a simple issue is a problem on a good set of binos. Hopefully gets fixed in future models and I would consider buying again.

AWESOME & Customer Service is the BEST EVER.
I have the Viper 10x42, originals. For me this was a huge upgrade and I just love them. Being able to see in the early hours is the best ever. I have horses, so sometimes bad things happen and the twist up eye pieces were damaged. I sent them in to have them repaired. Vortex not only repaired those, but fixed the scratches on the objective lens and re-argon gassed them for me and included new lens covers. I have never had customer service and quality care like what Vortex provides. I intend to always use Vortex just because of their great warranty. Just ordered a Razor Spotting scope, quality glass and the warranty and service can't be beat!

Put these through the ringer
I bought these about 6 or 7 years ago. Vortex was new on the scene in my area and I was comparing them to all the regular names. At the time the price and the quality was impossible for me to ignore. I have since used them as a hunting guide and biologist for between 150-200 plus days a year. I had to have the eye cups fixed twice, but given the amount of use, I can live with that. Vortex always got them back to me quickly and took into account the schedules of my hunts and work when planning to repair them. I have recommended these binos to two friends who both bought them and also love them. Honestly I am very happy and will be buying another pair of vortex binos in a higher magnification for future hunts.
