That alone will probably sell a few.

Will you be able to get the front lens cap on/off without a fight?

Here's the info sent along with the video.

  RAZOR HD ®  Spotting Scope

Setting a new standard in high-end optical technologies, precision craftsmanship, and ultra-sleek functionality, the newly engineered Razor® HD is one of the finest spotting scopes on the market. Period.

Premium HD glass lens elements, painstakingly hand-selected and precision-ground to exacting standards, deliver brilliant, razor-sharp, true-to-life views. Advanced optical elements eliminate aberrations for distortion-free, flat field images with unmatched edge-to-edge sharpness, remarkable clarity, resolution, and color accuracy. Fully multi-coated with XR coatings, our new spotters yield maximum light transmission—an extremely critical attribute when finding and evaluating game in low light.

Either that or pack a can opener w/it like they used to do with a half-case of beer when it came in steel cans.

The price will be the same as the past Razor HD Spotters, no increase that I can see, very nice!

  Not sure what you guys are referring to on the glass cups being too tight, I have them all & see they are snug but by no means an issue? They won't fall off that's for sure! (grin)

Nice looking upgrade on features.
People get offended at nothing at all. So, speak your mind and be unapologetic.

Looks like there are going to be some really skookum sale prices on the current model. 

I have been seeing them offered at $999 & $1,299 this week. Use the 10% coupon that is out there right now and that is probably the best spotting scope deal I have seen in a long while.
