Reviewed on www.bhphotovideo.com·Gillian
I purchased this smaller version of the Razor line of spotting scopes as I am a woman, and wanted to be able to carry it along with a tripod and a heavy camera and backpack. I had previously owned the Celestron Regal M2 80 ED spotting scope, which was much larger than this scope but about the same weight, however it was just too large for me to lug around along with the rest of my gear.\n\n\nThis scope has proven to be ideal for me. Its smaller size is much more portable which means I will use it more often and see far more birds! It fits in a backpack easily when not in use. I was initially concerned about it being less bright than my larger Celestron, but this scope ended up being even brighter and sharper, and I wish I had purchased this one in the first place. \n\n\nVortex has excellent customer service and an amazing warranty to boot which makes this brand superior to others over above their well made optics. The only negative thing I can say about this purchase is that the scope only comes with a neoprene covering and not a carry case that gives it better protection. Vortex confirmed that they do not make one for this scope unfortunately.

Great optics.
Reviewed on www.walmart.com·Henry
I bought this for long range shooting. Well out to 550 yards. That's the longest distance at the range I shoot at. When I focus in on different targets I am able to see clearly from edge to edge any shots off target are easy to detect. Can even see the vapor trails. I have even used it to spot wildlife, and have found a new hobby. If I have any issue it is with the cover that comes with it. The lens covers are held on by plastic snaps and are not fun to fool with. I put the main body cover on to protect as much of the scope as I can but the lens covers pretty much suck. I took the lens caps that have holes put a lanyard to connect them so I don't lose them and tossed the neoprene covers in the box. That is why I did not give a 5 star review. Probably not fair to the scope, but since the review is about the entire package Vortex took a hit on that one. One more tip, get a good tripod, preferably a good fluid head. You'll be glad you did.

Reviewed on www.bhphotovideo.com·Susan
The zoom, width of view, clarity and ease of use all exceeded our expectations. I read several reviews and comparisons of birding scopes (Audubon society, etc.) before deciding on this one. Since it was not possible to see/compare any myself I was a little nervous about choosing one but as it ended up, we couldn't be happier. It's our first scope with angled viewing (now a must), and since it's not too big or heavy for toting around we plan to try taking it on more outings. In addition B&H had the best price and provided good service.

Reviewed on www.bhphotovideo.com·Justin
Used it on an arizona coues white tail hunt. Helps a lot with identifying IF you have a steady enough tripod!!!! Mines a bit flimsy cause its light as heckl, soooo now infind myself upgrading that. Gets dark on high end, as they all do. The focus is super fine, you'll find yourself moving the focus way more than binos and that makes it easier to get it just right.

Reviewed on www.walmart.com·tterbo20
Haven't used in field yet. Performance seems only equal to 15 year old Kowa. Like the controls especially the focus drum. Rubber cover on rotation ring knob fell off first use. Neoprene cover is a bit funky. No body objective cover for storage. Wish a few users were involved in development.

Had this model Vortex over 3 months now. Great for watching wild-life. The images are razor sharp too. Scope is extremely well built, worth every penny I paid for it. The Sportsman's Guide price is one of the best I found. Suggested retail price on this scope is $2,000.00 on the vortex web site.

Reviewed on www.bhphotovideo.com·Gabriel
The optics are good, great really for the price point, but the ergonomics aren't super. It balances poorly on my fluid head. My other scopes I could find the center of balance no sweat but not the vortex. Also, the zoom and focus are both very stiff relative to higher end scope. \n\n\nOverall, A good scope for the money.

Reviewed on www.bhphotovideo.com·Alice
The eyepiece has fallen out twice and I can't move the head up and down so something is wrong, either I don't understand the system or it is not flexible. I don't like the stand. Screws instead of levers make it much slower to adjust. It could be my age, but I am frustrated and haven't used it as I thought I would.

I haven't had it very long but it is built well and is very clear even in low light at high magnification. I also noticed at high magnification (45x) the whole sight picture is focused, not just the center like my other Nikon spotting scope. I'm anxious to take it mule deer hunting in November.I haven't had it very long but it is built well and is very clear even in low light at high magnification.
