How do the stack up against the Leupold gold rings?Do you have to buy the overpriced HD versions to get one worth owning?

I don't know what you consider overpriced but the viper HD is great glass for around $600 (15-45x65). The only leupold gold ring that I have ever looked through was a 15-30x50 I believe. And the viper is a lot nicer than that. I have been a swarovski guy for about ten years now but they have gotten over priced. For the money I haven't found anything better than the upper end vortex (Viper and Razor). Vortex just came out with HD, so if you look around you might be able to find a non-HD viper for cheap.

Here you go. $450 non-HD. If it was me I would spend the extra and get the HD.

i have the Razor HD and if your like me, saving your money and getting the better glass is way way worth it! you get what you pay for and my glass and weapon are my most improtant tools. I also use it to make videos of preseason stuff as well as pics and vid in the winter range as well as shooting in the summer long range. so i pretty much use the glass all year.

been digiscoping with the Razor HD the last couple of day's, even though I have no idea what I am doing, they are turning out pretty well, very impressed with the spotter all the way around.

Yes I have. I would say the HD is better. And worth the extra money. But the non HD is still very nice.
