Spotters that are “easier” to look through

[TimberHunter]

I’ve had a Gen 1 razor 85, currently have the new mini razor 56. They both work just fine but I struggle to look through them for any amount of time especially with eye glasses

From the little time I’ve spent looking through the ATC/STC, they seem to have a bit more forgiveness with the eye relief.

What are some of the easiest spotters to sit behind with glasses?

The fixed power, wide angle eyepieces help a lot. The 30x on a Swaro ATS/STS is much more comfortable to spend long sessions behind than the 20-60 zoom eyepiece.

They all suck in that regard save one. The Leupold Mark 4 12-40x60mm and Gold rings are the best field spotters on the market currently because of exactly that.

I’ve had that scope and I currently have an atx and stc. I don’t remember it being better than my current as far as eye relief goes and ease of getting behind. That being said I don’t wear glasses.

The eye relief was impressive at S2H. How does the spotter do with resolution compared to swaro/kowa/etc?

The Swaros are better. But, they aren’t better enough to overcome the truly awful eye relief. Unless you are trying to count rings at longer range on sheep, I have not seen a situation where the difference was meaningful. I took the Swaro on a sheep hunt a couple years ago, and immediately wished that I had the Leupold or even the 15x Swaro binos.
