A high-end spotting 'scope without the high-end price tag, the new Vortex Viper HD 20-60x85 Spotting Scope series offers highly competitive features and food for thought when choosing a new scope within its price bracket.
Packed with features and incredible optical performance thanks to, but not limited to HD glass, XR Lens coatings, Dielectric prism coatings and Armortek external lens protection, these 'scopes bring far off subjects in for you to take a closer look – and do so with impressive clarity, resolution and colour fidelity.
The smooth and sleek helical focus allows you to focus on your subject quickly and smoothly for ultra sharp viewing as well as keeping its profile slim for easy storage. Argon gas purging offers superior internal waterproofing and fogproofing and the all-over rubber armouring protects the exterior of your scope.
Add to that the included stay-on Neoprene cover and you have one very highly specified all-in-one scope package!
OPTICAL FEATURES
HD Lens Elements - Optimised optical system delivers impressive resolution, cuts chromatic aberration and provides excellent colour fidelity, edge-to-edge sharpness and light transmission - resulting in High Definition views.

Dielectric Prism Coatings - Multi-layer prism coatings provide bright, clear, colour-accurate images.
CONSTRUCTION FEATURES

Fogproof - Argon gas purging guarantees superior fogproof and waterproof performance.
ArmorTek - Exterior lenses are protected by ArmorTek - an ultra-hard, scratch-resistant compound that repels oil, dirt and the corrosive salts of fingerprints.
