Razor vs viper spotter

[ThompsonPT]

Considering a vortex 65 mm spotter. Can someone give me first hand feedback on comparison of viper vs razor in the 65mm objective?

I think the razor is worth the extra money if you’re set on getting a vortex spotter. What’s your budget?

Looking at used spotters 300-600 ish

There’s a couple 65mm vortex spotters for sale here. I’d go check those out

Definitely worth the difference to go with a razor imo. Its not a night and day difference, but it is noticeable especially in funky light.

Not comparable, I’ve had both. The Razor is a great little spotter.

Thanks for the feedback

In that price range, the Athlon Ares would be my choice over any Vortex spotter.

+1 On the Athlon Ares. Using it with the Olin system and have no complaints

Go with the Razor HD spotter. The extra $ is worth it. Wouldn't bother with the Viper binos/spotters unless it's just for rifle range use.

I have an older Gen 1 Razor spotter, but it works excellent. My only complaint is that I'm always using it on the lowest settings, so I'm considering ditching it for a model with better FOV or a high power pair of binos.

Look on YouTube.

Can’t remember who, but they did side by of Razor/Viper/Diamondback.

I have the Razor 65mm and a buddy has the Viper 65mm. If your hunting style dictates first and last light capabilities the Razor hands down is the better option from what I can see looking through both of them side by side. During the day my eyes couldn't tell a lot of difference other than clarity around the edges.

The Burris 30X wide angle eyepiece will work on a 65mm Gen1 RZR.

Here's one of the comparison videos. It definitely helped me when I was looking and narrowed things down

I had no idea, thank you!

I am another one who loves the Athlon Ares.
