Fixed 4 power scope with holdover reticle
I have extensive experience using and trading in the old K series scopes. They were good reliable scopes for the money but are getting old and are sometimes prone to fogging. I would recommend having Iron Sight service them if necessary. The tracking is not as good as some modern scopes, with... -

Swarovski el
I have one of the last EL's made before the field flatteners (2008). They are incredible. A friend of mine recently asked a longtime major optics dealer/hunter who sells/uses alpha optics, where he would rank EL's if SLC's were a "5" and NL's were a "10." His response was "9." -

Bino rec
Razor UHD's are an excellent choice in your price range. I have numerous Zeiss, Swarovski, Leica, and Vortex binoculars. The UHD's are optically among the finest binoculars I have ever used. There are alot of used options as well, but likely nothing with the warranty coverage of Vortex. Try... -

Leupold VX5 HD or Zeiss Conquest V4?
I have heard alot of good things about the VX5 HD. I recently talked to an experienced full time optics technician and competitive shooter who does custom reticle work on Leupolds and he said he has was very impressed with this model. -

8x as Primary Glassing Optic?
For eastern hunting, I have found 8X to be the best all around magnification for me. -

Swarovski SLC 10x42 WB Habicht question
I'd say $1200+. Essentially a complete rebuild. You should not be disappointed with those. -

Choosing new binos (swaro, zeiss, vortex)
You might actually like your older EL's better than the new model due to the better depth of field and lack of panning distortion associated with the field flatteners. I understand some people are not affected by the "rolling ball." -

Razor HDs vs UHD
Used or refurbished UHD's are quite reasonable. I am a used optics dealer and have had the luxury of handling alot of binoculars in the past 30 years. I have preowned Leica, Swarovski, Zeiss, and Vortex currently in my small shop. The UHD's are about as good or better than anything I have used... -

Burris Optics Overall Impressions/Reliability
My customer feedback has been excellent for Burris scopes. I understand their warranty is really good as well. -

Razor HDs vs UHD
I agree with this analysis, as I have compared both models. I really like the size and performance of the Razor HD's. If you buy used or refurbished, there should only be around $350 difference between the two. To split hairs optically, I believe the UHD ranks behind only the top tier alphas... -

Tipton vises are a good economical choice. I routinely see used examples at gun shows and flea markets for $10-30. -

Binocular 8x42 for glasses wearer......do you normally remove your glasses?
Modern roof prism binoculars generally work well with glasses. If I were glassing for long periods of time, I might remove my glasses, but this would be rare for me. You would need to readjust your diopter. I keep a cheatsheet in my binoculars case for diopter adjustments with and without...
