Best bang for your buck

Used this scope on a 7 day back country hunt where I carried it 19 miles back. Great size with great power, was powerful enough to count the points of potential bucks to pursue 2000+ yards (and maybe more, that was just the limit of my range finder). Great scope overall and easy to use, I went with the straight instead of angled for packing purposes but I don't think it matters.

Not what I expected

Bought this as an addition to my 12x50 vipers , which rock the house love them. But this spotting scope is Dim and just not clear or lit up as my viper binos. Very dissatisfied with the fact this is their high end and doesn?t out perform the lower end binos, Or, mind you, or is it me. But I just thought these would make live easier, I went with straight and it?s dim and not so clear not enough light comes through. I went with the straight eye piece but wonder if the angled would be different. Anyways, this is good I guess if this is their standard for spotting g scopes but I just bought it hoping to really light up the mountain side. Now I do t even take it on hunts.lol might have just carry bigger binos.

On Referral

Ken, my best hunting friend, recommended Vortex over other more expensive brands. I found the Razor HD 65mm spotting scope a good choice. Then I got it home. I live in the mountains at 6000 feet. From my balcony I see a fire lookout station 4 miles distant and a little to the left of that, San Jacinto Peak at 6 miles distance, as the crow flies. This glass brings those peaks in for a high def close up view. When the ranger's in the station, I see him moving around his lookout. The image is clear and crisp. Best optics buy of my life...so far.

Huge Upgrade!!

I was using an Alpen spotting scope before this one and it’s like going from a black and white TV and upgrading to an HDTV! Unbelievable quality and contrast, I’m hooked on Vortex now!

Take your outdoor viewing experience to the next level with the Razor HD 22-48x65 Straight-Viewing Spotting Scope, a pinnacle of optical engineering. This high-quality, durable spotting scope is designed for the discerning birdwatcher and wildlife observer who demands powerful, reliable, and versatile performance in the field.

The scope's sophisticated triplet apochromatic lens system is the cornerstone of its high-definition viewing capabilities. It ensures that you enjoy a crystal-clear field of view without any color fringing, resolution degradation, or color fidelity dilution, even at the longest distances. The APO system's triplet apochromatic lens is perfectly paired with HD glass to provide unmatched color sharpness, delivering images that are true to life and bursting with detail.

Premium HD (High Density) extra-low dispersion glass is at the heart of the scope, offering the ultimate in resolution and color fidelity. This results in High Definition images that will impress even the most critical observers. The XR Plus Fully Multi-Coated lenses feature premium proprietary coatings that maximize light transmission. These multiple anti-reflective coatings on all air-to-glass surfaces ensure that the images you see are bright and full of contrast.

Dielectric Prism Coatings enhance the scope's performance further by providing bright, clear, and color-accurate images. The cutting-edge Plasma Tech application process guarantees that these coatings are exceptionally durable and will withstand the rigors of outdoor use.

The classic Porro prism design is chosen for its ability to deliver maximum image quality and performance. The straight body design of the Razor HD 22-48x65 is prized for its quick target acquisition and ease of use, making it the most compatible design for use with car window mounts.

Built to endure the elements, the spotting scope is both waterproof and fogproof. O-ring seals keep out moisture, dust, and debris, ensuring reliable performance in all environments. Argon gas purging prevents internal fogging across a wide range of temperatures, so your view remains clear no matter the weather.

The exterior lenses are safeguarded by ArmorTek, an ultra-hard, scratch-resistant coating that protects against scratches, oil, and dirt. An adjustable eyecup twists up and down to provide comfortable viewing with or without eyeglasses, and the helical focus allows for fast and fine adjustments to get that perfect view.

Additionally, the built-in sunshade minimizes glare and protects the objective lens from raindrops and snow. The rotating tripod ring enables the eyepiece to be positioned sideways, offering adjustable viewing angles for enhanced comfort during extended observation sessions.

With its combination of high-end features and robust construction, the Razor HD 22-48x65 Straight-Viewing Spotting Scope stands out as a superior choice for anyone serious about their outdoor viewing activities.
