Product Overview
Vortex Viper HD 12x50
The Vortex Viper HD 12x50 binocular offers crisp optics at well under the thousand-dollar mark. A 12x50 is well known among western hunters, but among birders, it is considered a specialty glass. It offers significantly more magnification than an 8x or 10x, yet can still be handheld, making it an alternative to a small spotting scope. It excels at scanning the ocean, bays, and lakes, picking out shorebirds on mud flats, and long-distance viewing at mountain hawk watches.
