I've been thinking about buying a pair of Vortex Viper HD Binoculars. These binoculars run 499.99-549.99 depending on if i get 10x42 or 10x50.

My question is.....Does anyone have experience with the Scheels Rage Binoculars made by Vortex? These are 499.99 for the 10x42 and I was wondering if they are a better glass for the same price?

same stuff I am pretty sure, they look the same when I looked through them anyway. I have a buddy who bought them(rage) crawling around this season broke off one of the eyepieces on the rage, sucks they broke but went in and was given a new pair, which is awesome. to me the viper and diamond back are way to similar to justify the extra money on the viper or rage, the razor on the other hand is hands down better. I have been pushing Athlon optics around they have had decent reviews and I am happy with the items I have. In the viper range I would look at the cronus model by Athlon 10x42 under 400 bucks.

I was told by a scheels employee that the glass in the rage is somewhere between a Viper and Razor. I looked through the Scheels Rage scope and to me couldn't tell the difference between that and the Viper.
