Vortex viper vs diamondback?

this would depend on the use for me. For a tree stand type situation the diamonds are just fine. My kid and i have a 10x42hd diamonds and they work great. vipers are a better glass but not enough for the price IMO.

HOWEVER if i was long range glassing I would spend significantly more because of the use. I would want a $1000+ for sure. If you think this is a myth look though a pair of Swaro's EL vs. Vipers and you will appreciate the fine glass. But for short ranges, under 300 yards the Vortex Diamonds are very good.
