nboni.2007 Report post Posted November 27, 2013 So I decided to get myself a pair of The Vortex Viper HD model binoculars, but I want a little input from you all, which do you think would be the better choice? Since they're just about the same in price. The 10x50's or the 15x50's? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AZ_SAWBUCK Report post Posted November 27, 2013 I have the Viper 15x50 HD's. They are hard to freehand since they are 15's but they are great on a tripod, lightest 15's on the market! I use Nikon 10x42's when I'm hiking. If I were to just carry one pair I would get 12X50's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bigorange Report post Posted November 27, 2013 Bought the 15x50 non-HD first...made the mistake of trying to carry them. A little heavy around the neck and couldn't freehand very well. Then added some cheaper 10x42 around my neck and now the 15x50 only on a tripod. Works well for me. If only buying one, then Sawbuck is right...consider the 12x50. One of my buddies has the 12x50 and uses them both freehand and on a support. Almost as good as the 15s as far as magnification, wider FOV and brighter.
