Optics Comparison (Spotting Scope) Leupold vs Vortex

[TxSportsman]

I know I know... just looking for some honest opinions between these two spotting scopes:

Leupold Golden Ring 15-30x50

Vortex Viper HD 15-45x65

I know the differences in zoom and objective etc. I was at Basspro and I could only compare the Leupold Golden Ring 15-30x50 to the Vortex Diamondback 20-60x60 (the Leupold blew the Vortex out of the water in my opinion in optics and clarity) but they didn't have the Viper HD in stock of course! Just curious if anyone has put the two side by side... and their opinions. I am not worried about price point between these two. Thanks!

Viper HD all day. Viper binos and spot scope are great IMO. The rifle scopes not so much.
