    Viper vs razor spotting scope

    I drove out to vortex and spent a hour and a half with one of there optics techs looking through all there scopes across there fields, at optics charts, and with other eyepieces. I went in to buy the razor 85 and decided to come home with the viper 65. If anyone is around south western...

    Viper vs razor spotting scope

    I'm actually heading there tomorrow. I was planning on bringing my bushnell. I cant see 1000yds at 45x with it. If the vortex is that bad, I will sell my truck and buy the 115mm swaro

    Viper vs razor spotting scope

    You guys find me a better spotting scope for $900 and I will happily buy it. It's what I can afford and like thousands of other people, they have not given me any problems. I'm literally upgrading from a 15-45x50 bushnell for my 1 to 2 trips out west I will be taking per year.

    Vortex has been good to me. I'm sticking with them. But thanks for the .02.

    Viper vs razor spotting scope

    I understand. If I wasn't getting 50% off then I would probably entertain the all the other options. I called prairie du chien today. Even though they dont have any in stock, they have displays! Thanks for the hot tip! Heading there tomorrow morning.

    Viper vs razor spotting scope

    I actually looked them up, and the one in chicago, gurnee, and madison. they are all out of stock for some reason. Vortex is actually only a hour away from me so maybe I can just go there to try them out.

    Who needs glass this big?

    The scope is for seeing the game 2 days ahead of time.

    Viper vs razor spotting scope

    Thanks for the input. I think I will just go with the Razor. Thank you. Would you drop down to the 65mm if you could do it over? Sweet! Razor it is then! I was thinking the angled also. It seems like looking up a mountain would require a very tall tripod with a straight. Thanks!

    Greetings from IL

    Hello from German Valley. (Northern IL) I feel your pain on the places to hunt. Up here we get a lot of people from Chicago that lease farmers land for hunting. But every once and a while i find a 5 acre timber that the farmer will allow me to hunt for free. But I always start out by asking to...

    Viper vs razor spotting scope

    I'm in the market for a vortex spotting scope. So far I have only been able to find one review that compared the viper 85mm vs the razor 85mm. The consensus was that there wasn't much difference for $700. But I like to make my decision with more than 1 review. Does anyone have experience with...

    Gunsmiths don’t use a torque wrench?!

    Had a similar scenario. My scope was installed crooked tho. Bdc and crooked dont mix. I ordered a weaver kit and a Tipton vise and confirmed the crappy mount job from the "gunsmith". I will be mounting my own scopes from now on.

    Who needs glass this big?

    If you look through that scope,you will see the back of your head. I will take 2.

    Need new range finder with $250 in gift cards to Fleet Farm???

    I brought my vortex and my hunting buddy brought a bushnell on a trip last year and the vortex did 10x better than his bushnell.

    Vortex Mistake at Factory?

    That is odd. You would think that would be caught at the factory. Bad QC on there part, I would give them a call.

    Why my pack sucks: Kifaru, Stone Glacier, Exo, Seek, Mystery Ranch, Kuiu, etc.

    Badlands 2200- I was not impressed with the load shelf being son the outside of the pack. It was very awkward with a full antelope hanging so far behind me and not tight to my back. Also the pistol holsters are to far back and you can barely reach your pistol.

    upgrading my binos

    I vote Vortex, slot of bang for your buck.

    Rangefinder suggestion

    I like vortex. I had the 850 which is now the 1000. I traded it in for something with a longer range and has a backlight. The 850 was good to 400yds on deer sized animals and it worked on proghorns but when you are putting on a stalk, it's nice to know when they are beyond 400 to get a gauge of...

    What Bino harness are you running

    I'm using the ones that came with my vortex binos. It works fine. It isnt uncomfortable at all. I bet there are alot better ones but I like mine.
