I know that they have a great warranty on them 100% and includes breakage. I was looking at a set last week when my binos broke,and were recomended by sevaral people I know. I have not used them myself but everyone I know that has them have like them. One friend here in town droped his rife and cracked the scope they replace it with a instore trade because he was hunting. I have not look through them in low light yet but understand there not bad at all in the mid to upper grade lens. I know I would like to here so more feed back on this topic too before I buy.

I have the 6.5X32 Fury. They are great for woods hunting and I can't tell the difference between them and 8X. Wide field of view, waterproof and fog proof with a great warranty. I'm more than satisfied.

I have the Sidewinder which has since been re-named. They are the most underrated optics out there. You won't regret getting them.

I currently own a set of Eagle Optics (same company) Ranger Platinum 8X42's. I had a set of Vortex Razors a couple years ago. They were Fantastic...just a bit heavier than I wanted to carry in the whitetail woods.
Whichever model you choose, you can be assured that they are a great bargain compared to the competition.

I have the vortex 'Diamondbacks' (older model) 8x42, look through them nearly every day.
Light weight, great eye relief, high exit pupil.
Great Bino and a great warranty.
One of the best 'field of views' in its class.
(price is pretty good too)
Highly recomended.

Hunting was hazardous, but at least it guaranteed the freedom of the individual.
There is no doubt that the onset of farming saw the end of leasure for the majority of people, who were destined to toil in the fields.

I have had the Vipers in 8 X 42 and now have the Diamondbacks in 8 X 42. I tested both side by side and found only marginal difference between the much higher priced Vipers and the diamondbacks. Sold the Vipers and bought a set of Diamondbacks with good change to spare. The only difference we found in the Vipers after testing in all lighting conditions was that the Vipers were a little better in really low light. Both were great bino's though.

I have a pair of the Viper 6x32 and find them to be excellent glass. In fact I sold my Zeiss Victory FL's and have not regretted it.
