vortex viper hd 15x50 or vulture hd 15x56

[goinhuntn]

Anyone have any advice on these binos I have heard real good reviews on the vipers, and some good on the vultures.
The vulture 15x56 are new so not sure about them. I don't have the money for swaros so they are not an option. How much of a difference in the 15x50 vs 15x56? Just trying to get the best I can for the money I can spend. I will be using these on a tripod as I will also be carrying 10x42 Nikons. Thanks in advance for any advice

I had the 10x42 vipers for awhile before switching to the razors. I had the 10s and 15s(for a few weeks). I loved the 10s but the 15s we're not great in low light situations. An example, a friend and I were glassing a hill side and he found deer, almost dark and he couldn't tell if it was just a skin head or not. I put the 15s on the deer and couldn't tell either. I put the 10s on the doe and could tell immediately that it wasn't a buck. I sold the 15s the next week. The 50mm objective is just to small for 15s in low light situations. At least in the viper line.

Go with the 56 bell. You'll want all the light gathering ability you can get. 15x50 will loose light plus field of view.
