Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics Vortex Razor Binos

So after trying to use my amazing Razor 10x42 Bino for the past few years, I am giving up. I CANNOT HOLD a 10x42 steady for the life of me.

I want to use them. They are clear and excellent. On a tripod they are terrific, but I can't hold them steady without something like my shooting stick or similar. I find myself going back to my little 8x32 Minox BD because I can hold them steady.

So....here is my question. Do any of you have a 8x42 Razor that you want to trade for a 10x42? I would like to stay with a Vortex Razor or similar level glass.

If not, anyone have any idea what I should ask for a "nearly new" Vortex Razor 10x42? I have case, papers, box, strap (never used), and the angled eye cups to help when I get some stray light (that have never been used). Just like to get an idea of fair market value, but really hope that someone out there really wants a 10x42 Razor and wants to trade.

Thanks!

I will trade you 8x42 Nikon Monarchs.

If you are serious I am.

Thanks for the offer Sleeper, but I would prefer to keep in the same class of glass as the Razor.

Anyone else have any ideas?

So I ended up trading the Razors for an 8x42 Talon HD. Optically they are great, seem just as good so far, but ultimately time will tell. Easier to hold steady for me too. I definitely like the armoring on the Razor better.
