I've ended up with 4 Vortex products at various times:
- Razor HD 5-20x50 - At the time it represented a remarkable price/performance option. It still tracks. The HD glass is still fine. The illumination still lights up. Other scopes have better features now. No objections.
- Talon HD 10x42 binoculars. Kind of bulky and heavy, but very good in the center of the image field. Weaker on the edges. Very low eye fatigue for me. No real objections.
- A Razor HD 27-60x85 spotting scope. I've used this one extensively and compared it to all the usual suspects. It's very strong overall, and moreso when price is taken into consideration. I've yet to see a "better" scope spot a hole it couldn't. Hunting-wise deer and elk are huge by comparison and frankly pretty hard to miss. No fatigue problems.
- A viper HST 4-16. It came on a rifle I bought. I didn't like it optically, but it tracked. I sold it.
Based on my experiences so far, I'd be happy to go with them again.
