It’s been flawless on my 30-06 Tikka that rides in the truck with me a lot. Plus, Vortex’s warranty is so good that if something ever does happen, they will take care of you right away. I dropped my Razor HD 10x42 Binos and the diopter ring broke. I sent them a picture and they gave me a...
I’ve looked at a couple of those but I am really tough on my gear. Vortex warranty gives me peace of mind that I don’t think other brands would give me.

I’m looking at getting a bigger pack for multi-day hunts and hikes. I know the Metcalf can do multi-day hunting but I’m curious if you all think it would work as well as an Osprey for multi-day hiking. Thoughts?
The First Lite gear would work well. You’ll want to layer though. You’ll have moments where you sit and glass and you’ll want the jack and bibs on. Then you are climbing mountains going after a deer and you’ll want it off.
Do you still have this pack? One is available near me and I’m wondering if this is still a good option or if I’m better off with something new like the Kuiu.
Thanks for the reply. That makes it a pretty easy decision then. Razor for me. While I like the value that the Viper, Diamondback, and Crossfire bring to the line, the Razor being the top of the line and only $100 more makes it a no brainer.
That's a killer deal. Do you think this plus the SVH-501 head would serve well as a dual purpose, optics and rifle, tripod? Or should it just be used for optics?
