Expensive but incredible
Date:
I've been using a Redfield 15-45x for the past 25 years or so and decided to upgrade my spotting scope in anticipation of some special time in the field this past summer. After a lot of research I settled on this scope. It was an expensive purchase for me, but by getting it thru Cabela's, I earned enough points to get a pair of Danner GTX boots for free, and that helped.
At home, I put this and the Redfield up on the deck and checked out pronghorns in the back yard. At full daylight, I didn't see a whole lot of difference. However, in the field, different story. I found myself on 60x many, many times. The optics were so clear and crisp that I was surprised when I bumped into the upper stop- with the Redfield, the image gets blurry past 30x and I'm "milking" it to 45x. The Vortex is cruising at 45x.
In addition to hunting, I do a lot of bird-watching, especially of raptors. I got the angled eyepiece and am SO glad I did. It's really comfortable looking at cliffs thru the angle and it's much easier for people of various heights to step up and look thru your scope. When hunting, I like the relaxed position of looking at the ground, rather than kinking my neck up with a straight-thru scope, especially when looking uphill at game.
It would be nice if eye relief were better, but that's always an issue. With contact lenses, I had no problem and I found that even with my 20/500 vision that I have enough adjustment to see w/out my glasses.
I mount this on a Vortex Dakota tripod and that's another winner.

Best Spotting Scope on the Market
Date:
The Vortex Razor is by far and above the best spotting scope on the market for the money. I have nothing but rave reviews for it clarity and capabilities. My only complaint is that I wish that Vortex would make a good quality carrying case (either soft or hard sided) to protect this expensive scope.

Review Of Vortex Razor HD 85mm spotting scope
By Jeff
Professional Naturalist /Guide for The Nature Conservancy, Montana.
Body and construction
The Vortex razor feels very well made. The zoom operates smoothly. I really like the duel focus knobs that are very smooth and have no lag in the rolling of them.
I really like that the eye-piece locks in place with a pin. I would prefer all rubber armor on the body like the Leica and Swarovski.. I also find the sun shade slides out too freely for my tastes. I think the Objective lens cap might not fit well if you put a protective filter on but I did not test this.
I also like how smooth and firm the eye-cup twists out. making for great eye-relief adjustment.
Now for some real world use.
I used the Vortex in the field leading wildlife watching expeditions and hikes.
I also tested it watching White-winged Cross bills feeding. I loved the color rendition I got through the Vortex. I saw great highlights in the bird\u2019s feathers.
I used the scope several times at dusk looking for grizzly bears at Pine Butte Preserve in Montana. The Vortex did very well in the poor light- even in the rain. The Vortex scope was even brighter than my Leica binoculars. I had several of my clients comment on how bright and sharp they thought the scope was. We watched several moose and were able to see the velvet on the antlers from ½ a mile. I was able to pick out elk from nearly two miles away, and we watched a female grizzly with two cubs run across a meadow. The detail in their hair was excellent. You could see her coat ripple and move as she stood up to smell us. One major difference I noticed: at 60x the Leica and Swarovski really seemed to tunnel down and have small field of view. The Vortex seemed much bigger and brighter. This was most observable when looking at wildlife over one mile away in poor light.
Summary
The Vortex Razor is a top quality scope. You might get slightly more from a $4000 dollar scope, but I do not think it would be a difference that mattered.
The Razor has by far the best warranty in the industry and that is a huge benefit to me.
If you drop the Vortex and break it ;Vortex will fix it. You will not get this with Leica, Swoarvski, or Kowa. Nikon had a great warranty too, but it is not transferable to another owner of the scope. The Vortex warranty stays with the scope not the owner!
I have loved using the scope on the job. I am very impressed by the scope and will seriously look at other Vortex products in the future. I think that if they can keep up the quality and the affordable prices, we will hear a lot more about Vortex Optics.
Foot note!
I just recently had to send back my scope to be repaired. I had a client drop my scope in a parking lot and broke the tripod mount.
The Warranty and Repair Department at Vortex are
great! They said the repair would take 5 days from when they received the scope. They offered me a loaner scope for while my scope was away.
The repair form is easy, and the costumer service people were very friendly.
I continue to be impressed by this company!
I am Really Glad I bought this scope!
