The Vortex® Razor® HD Gen 1 Spotting Scope features a triplet apochromatic lens system delivering high-definition views across the entire field of view—no color fringing or degradation of resolution at long viewing distances. High-density extra-low dispersion glass delivers the ultimate in resolution and color fidelity, resulting in true High Definition images.

Lightweight goodness!!I have owned the Razor HD 11-33x50 spotting scope for several years now. It has been on three elk hunts to 11,000 ft elevation, as well as on outdoor vacations with my wife. We keep it at our lake house which overlooks a bluff. This morning I used it to figure out what some birds were doing on the water about a 1000 yds away.
While there are unquestionably better spotting scopes on the market, I know of none that are SO light yet of decent optical quality and good value for the money.
The thing that differentiates this scope from all others that aren’t “toys” or garbage is it’s incredible lightness. FYI- I believe the housing is made of some sort of high-impact polymer, not metal. Nevertheless, it has held up for me on the rugged trips described above, and if a scope is too heavy for you to put it in your pack, it won’t do you any good on the mountain! This one is one you can take with you without a big weight penalty!

Impressive optics in a compact packageThis is my first spotting scope I have owned. The Vortex Razor HD 11-33x50mm has worked out quite nicely. Whether using it at the local gun range or high up in the Absaroka/Beartooth mountain range in Montana it has yet to leave me hanging. The optical quality is paramount and is perfect for backpacking due to its compact size. The focus adjustment is simple and quick. My girlfriend ends up using it more than I do when we take it out into the field.

Made my hunt!I spent several days straight behind this scope on a recent Alaska black bear hunt and it was indispensable. The weight an clarity are the selling features on this model and it certainly has those. At times i would have liked a little more magnification but the clarity made up for it and allowed me to spot a load of bears through rain and intermittent fog.

Great things come in little packagesSo much power, light and clarity in one small, light package. I'll never again go on a brutal hunt and leave a spotter at home to rely solely on binos. It's one of those products you have to use to appreciate. I bought this for a sheep hunt, and I'll be taking it on a mountain goat hunt hunt this fall.

Good but not GreatAfter having used this spotting scope for the last 6 months I have mixed feelings on it. The clarity of the glass is impeccable. I feel like this small scope's focus ability wasn't much better than my binoculars which provided better eye relief so I found myself using those more on my tripod. I'm interested to try a more powerful scope of this calibre. In the meantime, I'm actually buying a more powerful binocular from Vortex.

Great compact spotting scope!!My favorite spotting scope, simply because of its size. Although it is small, that does not limit its capabilities. This has extremely clear glass and I am able to glass hillsides for hours without any eye fatigue. Vortex nailed this scope just like many other of their products!

Excellent Spotting ScopeI bought this after getting into sheep hunting. I liked the pack-ability of this scope and how light it was. The clarity of the glass is unlike anything I've used before. At full magnification I did not lose any of the clarity which surprised me. Eventually I could see myself purchasing a more powerful one but don't think I would ever replace this one due to the versatility this scope offers. It's extremely helpful being able to identify a Ram or from 1,000 yards away and not need to worry about hiking closer and potentially spooking a group that may not contain a Ram. I was torn between going angled or straight and am glad I went with the angled. It really helps looking down into it and not into the sun when the sun starts creeping over the mountains in the morning.
what would be the maximum distance I can use this scope to check in target shooting?
Asked by: AK60Ben
Depending on the conditions you can usually see bullet holes in paper out to about 300 yards, impacts on painted steel will be much further than that.
