I had not heard of these (search on SH gave up nil) or seen them anywhere, but they are "Limited Distribution", whateverthefuq that means. As far as I can tell it means they're really difficult to find on the website, and even more difficult to find in the wild. MSRP is $800. I found them for a lot less. I have no idea why these aren't being trumpeted, as I think there are a great many people for whom these are perfect. Without jumping through ridiculous hoops to get etched reticles in existing optics this is really an easy button with the below specs. I think the pair of Razors HD binos I have to glass for Elk are an unbelievable value for what they are, but I always wished they had a Mills reticle for spotting at PRS matches. I jumped, so when I get them I will give a short review, but this is something I had been looking for forever at a reasonable price.
I would have preferred 12X56, but this is what they gots.

Magnification 10x
Objective Lens Diameter 50 mm
Eye Relief 20 mm
Exit Pupil 5 mm
Linear Field of View 278 feet/1000 yards
Angular Field of View 5.3 degrees
Close Focus 8.2 feet
Interpupillary Distance 59-75 mm
Height 6.7 inches
Width 5.2 inches
Weight 27.2 oz
10X50 with a Mill ranging reticle.

I have the monocular version of these I think(the Recce Pro HD). I emailed vortex and they told me that the glass for it is equivalent to the Viper HD binos
