I was looking into getting a new spotting scope, and was wondering if anyone has had any luck with the vortex optics. Says there as good as the leica and swarovski, but I have swarovski binocs, and I don't know of anything that is as good except the leica. But, now I have an 8 month old and the wife and I can't see spending over a grand on a spotting scope when we have to buy diapers. Any info would be great.

had a friend buy a cheap pair of bino's from them, this season......for the money i would say they represent good value for the dollar, but do not expect swaro, zeiss, or leica performance from something that is 1/2 the price you get what you pay for in optics.

I love the vipers I have a pair of pentax 8X42 that are nice. but for the same money the vipers are a much better set of glasses, I have also used their spotting scopes and they are amazing. And you can not beat the life time waranty

I'm seeing more and more of them out at shows etc. but not to familiar with them yet. Sorry!

Not much help since you're looking for a spotter, but the bino's are awesome. I have the 10X42 Razors and they rival the Swaro EL's. I haven't personally looked through the Skyline or Nomad but have heard good things about them. You can't beat the no fault VIP warranty though....

thanks guys

If ya here of any more let me know... Any of you prostaffers, if you see the scope, pick it up and try it out, let us know how it works.
