Vortex Optics

Vortex Optics, binoculars and rangefinders from Wisconsin

The story of Vortex Optics begins in 1986 in Middleton, Wisconsin, when Dan and Margie Hamilton opened Eagle Optics, an optics shop for local birdwatchers and hunters. After years of selling other companies' binoculars and hearing what their customers complained about, they launched their own brand in 2002. Today, Vortex is one of the most widely available optics brands in North America, and the company is still family-run.

At Outpost, we have kept what is used for observation: the Crossfire HD, Diamondback HD, Viper HD and Razor UHD binoculars, the Solo, Recce Pro HD and MRAD-reticle monoculars, the Crossfire HD, Diamondback HD, Viper HD and Razor HD spotting scopes in angled or straight configurations, the Diamondback HD 2000, Viper HD 3000 and Razor HD 4000 laser rangefinders, and the GlassPak harness for carrying binoculars on your chest.

The VIP Guarantee

All Vortex optics are covered by the VIP guarantee: lifetime repair or replacement, with no receipt or warranty card required, and transferable to the next owner—even after being dropped or left on the roof of the car. Only loss, theft, intentional damage and purely cosmetic wear and tear are excluded.
