Vortex Optics Razor HD Spotting Scope 27-60x85 Angled

Good quality, light weight. As described in the ad. Perfect for hunting and travelling light.

Very nice scope and an especially great price. I was going back and forth between this and the equivalent Swarovski I ended up going for this which after a sale price was about 1/3 of the Swarovski, and am quite happy with it. Good brightness and clarity.

Nice wide, flat field of view, good colour correction, image stays in focus throughout the whole 27-60x zoom range. Excellent build quality with decent eye relief - easily useable while wearing glasses. I returned mine. I have its less expensive little brother, the Diamondback HD 20-60x85. In a direct comparison, aside from the colour fringing in the Diamondback (a blue tinge around things that are slightly out of focus), the Diamondback had better definition and contrast, and showed finer detail at all distances and magnifications than the Razor did. For example, the writing on a bag of gardening soil about 1000 feet away was easily discernable in the Diamondback, but was difficult to read in the Razor. Same results looking at a 20$ bill at 40 feet. As mentioned earlier, the Diamondback shows quite a bit of colour fringing on bright objects that are slightly out of focus while the Razor does not. A Tele Vue 85 astronomical telescope showed better detail and contrast than both spotting scopes while looking at the same objects, but since it has fewer optical elements and also cost more than both scopes combined, it really isn’t a fair comparison. Either I happen to have an excellent Diamondback, or the Razor I received was defective. I would be tempted to purchase another Razor to see how it compares, but I’ll just stick with the Diamondback for now.
