[QUOTE="Plinker147, post: 1293668, member: 88320"] Razor line are good glass and always thought they were plenty good enough for me Until last season. I'm sort of a trophy hunter not score but for mature good antlered critters. I spotted a buck at about 1&1/2 miles out with my Swarovski 15x. Pulled out the vortex razor spotting scope to see if it was a buck worth the hike. Couldn't tell anymore detail than I could with my 15's. Another guide buddy of mine had same experience on a elk hunt. Through a razor spotting scope he could tell it Was a big framed bull at a long distance ( not sure of the exact distance). His hunter had a Swarovski spotter and could tell it was a 7x8 around 360ish . What I've learned vortex razors are good but not quite there. If your Going through to drop 1400-1600 I would look for used swaros Or a lieca. When you increase power the quality of optics really shows. I like vortex and have some of there scopes. The razors in 10x 50 Binos are so close to slc it's a wash, spotting scopes and the 15x binos it's a different story. Just my experiences [/QUOTE]
