My experience with Vortex products is limited. I've looked through some of the lower end binos and scopes that friends had and was not impressed. However, the Razor line seems to be well made. The glass is good and they seem durable. They are durable enough that the Razor 1-6x is the most popular high end scope in 3-gun competition. In 3-gun, competitors regularly dump their guns in a barrel/dump box while running through the stage. This is a pretty good test of durability and they seem to stand up well under those conditions.
