Description
Vortex Razor HD Gen 2 Spotting Scope
The Vortex® Razor® HD Gen 2 Spotting Scope delivers clear, crisp views with superior image quality and color fidelity. A sophisticated, high-definition, triple-apochromatic lens system almost completely eliminates chromatic aberration across the entire field of view – no fringing, degradation of resolution or dilution of color fidelity at longer distances. XR™ Plus multicoated lenses on all air-to-glass surfaces and multilayer dielectric prism coatings provide bright, clear images. ArmorTek™ ultra-hard, scratch-resistant coating protects exterior lens surfaces from scratches, oil, and dirt. Helical focus allows for fast and fine focus adjustments, even with cold fingers or gloved hands. Twist up eyecups accommodate users with eyeglasses, and a built-in sunshade reduces glare and shields the lens from rain and snow. A rotating tripod ring allows you to move the eyepiece to a sideways position, providing adjustable viewing angles. The Razor HD Gen 2 Spotting Scope features a die-cast magnesium-alloy body that is O-ring sealed and argon purged for waterproof and fogproof protection. Angled design allows a lower mounting height, maximizing stability in wind and adding comfort for extended glassing. Straight design allows for speedy target acquisition and is compatible with car window mounts. Backed by the vortex VIP unlimited lifetime warranty.

Clear image scopeThis scope is very clear and it performs excellent in low light conditions. I own the 22x60-85 model. I would never trade it for a different spotting scope!

Razor spotting scopeHappy pleased and impressed. I just got back from a deer hunt in Idaho where I got to use my Vortex Razor HD 27 X 60 X 85 angled spotting scope. I have hardly any experience using a spotting scope. I had to read the instructions - not because I couldn't figure it out on my own but this is an expensive fine instrument and I didn't want to screw it up somehow because I was too stubborn to read the directions. So at first light I had it set up on a really nice Vanguard Alta 2330 tripod. This is not a very expensive tripod but it is well made and served as a steady base for my scope in 15-20 mile winds. It took me a little practice getting on a spot and zooming in. Everything I looked at came in very clear/sharp. The big test came when we moved and were driving down a dirt road and we spotted deer about 10000 yards away. I jumped out of the truck and put the spotting scope on the hood and tried to find the deer in the scope. I had a hard time finding the deer that I could see with my naked eye. That's me, but the wind was whipping hard and jiggling the truck and my brother was bouncing around in the seat. Finally I foud an eye ball in the brush of a different deer than I was trying to look at. I finally got on them and could see all four were does, so that saved us a long stock up a pretty steep hill side which we would have done because my 8X40 binoculars were not good enough to positively identify these deer in the very thick brush. Later that day we spotted more deer in a similar situation but this time I took the time to set up the stand and I was able to get on the deer quickly. Again they were all does but I picked out more deer in the brush than we initially spotted with the binoculars. I definitely recommend the vortex angled spotting scope. I found it quite comfortable sitting down looking through the angle scope - no neck strain like I had experienced with the straight scopes. A person needs to practice finding objects at distance and zooming in and focus because a minute can make a big difference during a hunt.

DisappointedReceived the Razor HD 27-60x85 spotting scope and immediately put it to work. I was initially impressed with the appearance of this optic then I peeked down the eyepiece. Unlike the description of this product, I did not find a clear, crisp view nor superior image quality. The clarity of this scope does not live up to the Vortex quality that I'm accustomed to seeing. In the field, I found myself reverting back to my Vortex binoculars when trying to identify if the animal was a shooter or not. I have multiple Vortex optics (riflescopes, binoculars) that I'm extremely satisfied with, but this is not one of them. Unfortunately, I will be returning this spotting scope.

Black fitted case (Razor HD 65mm straight)Mine needed to be restitched as it did not fit well upon receipt. It has since torn in two places at the seam. Nothing a little string and thread couldnt fix. Im sure the case that comes with the scope is sufficient and not a necessary purchase.

Good Fit But Needs ModificationsI've made several changes to the scope case.
I made the same changes to the location of the hooks on both the eyepiece cover and the objective cover. I attached the hook to webbing which I then attached to the barrel of the objective and eyepiece cover. It is much easier to remove and replace - not as much stretching. I can keep the lens shade out and still fit the objective cover over the lens front. It fits over the eyepiece easier, especially with the adjustment of the angle on the body.
I realized the angle was wrong between the eyepiece cover and the body of the scope cover. When in place the hook on the objective and the loop on the case body should be in a straight line. Much easier on/off and less stress to the neoprene. So I took the elastic with the loop off and re-positioned it.
Finally - the screw knob for allowing rotation of the scope needs a notch. I haven't made it yet, but it is hard to access because it is under neoprene.
Pretty minor changes, but it made the scope case easier for me to use and it won't be pulling holes in it anytime soon.
I'm still amazed by what I can see with this new Razor spotting scope. It gets a daily work out.

Overall great product, fitted my needsI I bought this the same time I bought my scope. Installation was easy and it looks great. The only problem I had was two out of the four plastic latches ripped off the neoprene the first time I used the scope. It's still functional with only two but could use a slight improvement. I'm not sure why these hooks are placed on the inside but it could also lead to scratching the scope.
2 questions, is the field sharp from edge to edge? and does the image get fuzzy at high power settings?
Thanks , David
Asked by: DavidN
Thanks for the question! Yes, the field of view will be sharp from edge to edge. Depending on other conditions, yes the image quality will go down as you reach the higher magnification. This has to do with the physics of it and will happen with any optic. I would recommend getting to a dealer and looking checking out the optic if it's possible.
