[QUOTE="Ernie, post: 953562, member: 13"] I don't have what I really want yet in a spotting scope. Vortex Razor HD (The largest one) has a optional 30x wide angle eyepiece. You get the scope with a variable eyepiece. I wish you could buy it with the eyepiece of your choice. You can get the 30x WA with either a MOA or MIL reticle. The eyepiece works on the mid-sized Razor HD, but the subtensions are not right, so it is not a viable option. Also they are NOT going to make an eyepiece for the midsized Razor spotting scope that subtends correctly. The one thing I don't like about it is that the eyepiece is not a LER eyepiece. You cannot see a full FOV with shooting glasses or prescription glasses on. I wear prescription glasses. The US Optics LER spotting scope With reticle in FFP just flat out stinks. Eye relief is way too long (Like looking through a straw) and the attachment piece to the tri-pod is too long as well. They probably speced something for the military and they needed to be able to see through it using goggles or something like that. Not practical at all for LR field shooting or LR hunting. For Field shooting I have been using a Kowa with a 25x LER eyepiece ( I purchased it for F-Class @ 1K. Awesome glass, but no reticle and it is a fairly big scope. For years I used Leupold's 12-40 Gold Ring, then the HD when it came out. They do have a MOA reticle now in FFP, and I am going to get one of those soon. The Leupold has good glass, lightweight, awesome FOV and has all the eye relief a guy would need-The journey continues [/QUOTE]
