Great Binos

The glass is very clear. These work well for glassing. Might want a larger magnification if Glassing at further distances though.

Perfect for African Safari

I bought these for a trip to Botswana, Africa in 2018. They were perfect for the trip. Rugged, clear and easy to carry. I'm an amateur Astronomer and the Razor binoculars have 6. 9 degree field of view, perfect for backyard viewing.

Great binos for the money

It is hard to beat these binos for the quality, money, and weight. Been really happy with these after four years of hard use during hunting and shed hunting seasons out west.

What you need and more!

These optics have everything that is needed weather you are scouting ridges, looking at duck fields from the truck, or side hill spotting across the canyon in timber. They are not too heavy for what you get and are as clear as a lot of other glass in a much higher price point. If you are just starting out or an expert these are great. It this is your first set then they very well may be your last, they are that good!

Clear (day or night)

Stellar low light performance and great clarity. Crediting my successful hunting season to these binos as I'm sure I wouldn't have been able to ID mine from that kind of distance without these.

Great Product

Bought my son these for deer and elk hunting in the west. We did side by side comparisons with top end glass in the field and I was truly impressed with the Razor HD's, especially given the price point.

Awesome!

Love this product and has been a perfect fit for my area. I live in southeastern United States so these binoculars are great for close and out to ranges of around 250 yards. Even when I make my annual hunting trip out to Texas, they do me great at longer distances. Great at low light conditions as well. Overall I love these binoculars and I would recommend them to most hunters or even anyone in the outdoors.

These binoculars are very high

These binoculars are very high quality. The clarity is amazing, the construction is solid and well finished. Well worth the price and I find them to be superior to the Leupold BX-4 Pro Guide HD's that I also own.

I have been using these binos for a few years now and they are excellent. The clarity of the glass is second to none. Would definitely buy these again if i ever needed another pair.

Razor 10x42 Bino's

Vortex had these at clearance prices and I was able to pick some up for a great price. I've had other Vortex items but always the diamondback or crossfire. The Razors are at a whole new level. The clarity of the glass made my Diamondbacks looks bad and I've enjoyed using them for years. I am now looking to upgrade to 12x50 Razors. Backed by he Vortex warranty makes these hard to pass up. Thanks for a great product.

I have had these binoculars

I have had these binoculars for several months now and find that they give me a pretty sharp image. I don't have anything else to compare them to. They seem solid, but are on the heavy side.

Great product and customer service

Amazing optical clarity especially in low light. Images are sharp and bright. Rugged construction but lightweight. The bino tripod adapter works well in the field. The customer service is second to none. The staff took the time to help me with my setup for glassing and provided expert advice. I couldn't recommend the Razors and the company more highly. I will be checking out the Vortex spotting scope as well.

Excellent Glass/Fair Price

I bought these binoculars for a mountain goat license I was lucky to draw. The carrying case they come with works very well and is comfortable. The binoculars are relatively light weight, adjust quickly and provide a clear image. I never experienced any form of eye strain, and easily located any distant objects I wanted to glass. Expertvoice had these at 60% off when I got them, which was a steal. Great hunting optics at a fair price!

Razor 10x42

Phenomenal price for a Phenomenal bino, I was able to see much more detail when compared to my old crossfire HDS and although there was very slight color aberration at the edges the lens was very crisp and worked very well in the field. This product at this price is a no brainer!

Vortex Razor HD 10x42. Great

Vortex Razor HD 10x42. Great binos and a good value especially when a deeper discount is on. The build quality is superior to the older Japanese made Viper HD, but the optics are comparable. Overall nicer, but larger in form factor. Definitely superior optics than the current Viper HD a buddy has. The harness/case pretty mediocre - it works, but plan on getting a better one if you're hunting with these.

Hands down best binos without the sticker shock

By ElkhunterMT

Love them! They are hands down one of the best binos in the Business. Absolutely love them I cannot distinguish any difference between them and Swarvoski which are two times to three times the cost. They are hands-down the clearest optic on the market out there. And the VIP warranty doesn’t make me worried when I take them out that somethings going to happen and I can’t replace them!

Vortex Does it Again

By Matt307

I purchased my 10x42 Razor HD binoculars after Christmas and still extremely happy with them. This is my third piece of glass from Vortex (two rifle scopes and now these binos). I bought these for hunting and while I haven't been able to use them for that purpose, I take them with me every time I go outdoors, whether it's fishing, hiking or just driving around Wyoming. I think it's because the glass is just so clear and I can see every detail when I spot a herd of deer or antelope. They are v...

Every component, feature and performance characteristic of the Razor HD Gen II-E 1-6x24 riflescope is so well thought out and executed, it's almost scary.

Optically, it delivers the highest level of clarity, resolution, color accuracy, light transmission and edge-to-edge sharpness.

A true, daylight-bright illuminated center dot gives shooters ultimate close-quarters versatility.
