Now I am digging this thread up to see what you got, DontTreadOnMe. I too would like to get the Vortex 27-60x85 HD Razor. I am looking for something for spotting out to 1000 yards for target shooting. I also would also like it for spotting 5.56 on paper as close as 100 yards if at all possible. Long range is my main objective. I am looking to keep the price under 2k. I am also looking for a good, sturdy tripod recommendation (not part of the 2k. I am seeing the vortex razor for 1570.00. That's a good chunk off of msrp. Suggestions anyone?
I a Vortex Razor HD spotting scope and it is excellent; a 20-60X85. I have not used it for 1,000 yards. At 200 yards you can see 22 cal holes on black paper no problem. At 100 yards you can just leave it at 20X. I think you get what you pay for when it comes to spotting scopes.
