Hi there,
I lurk a lot on these forums and really enjoy the informative community that's formed. My question revolves around the Vortex Razor and the Swarovski.
I'm in the market for a spotter this off season and have been getting heavy pressure from some of my friends to get a Swaro. I went and looked through a couple different pieces of glass and came to the same conclusion that a few reviewers did here...
Vortex is great, especially at the price tag, but it's not a Swarovski or Zeiss.
But it's close. And you seriously can't beat the warranty associated with it.
But one of the major turnoffs for me was the fact that Vortex didn't make a 65mm scope. The weight and size is important to me.
With that being said, I decided on a whim to shoot Vortex an email last night asking about a 65 MM scope.
This was the reply:
"Good morning Travis,
Thanks for contacting Vortex Optics. Check back around the first of the year when we have our 2013 models on our site…..might just be something you’re looking for
"
Great. I had my mind made up to just keep saving and bite the bullet to get a Swaro, but now I'm not so sure.
My question for the RokSlide community is this...for those who use Vortex, or Swarovski, or Zeiss, in the FIELD what's the difference. Will I get a headache looking through Vortex all day quicker then I would through a Swaro? Is there enough of a quality difference that it's going to change what I do in the field?
These questions keep me up at night. Hehe.
Thanks in advance for your input.
