swift:
I've been looking at the Vortex Razor 11-33 because of the weight
Any feedback on it ? I'm a little worried about 33 power being enough magnification

bankwalker:
I was just at sportsman warehouse looking through that very spotter. Aswell as the viper hd 15-45x65. Weight was obviously a big difference between the two. The razor is about 1/2 the size in comparison.
The view through the razor imo was junk compared to the viper hd. Having both set at the same power +/- a couple.
The higher optical lense made a huge difference in the quality of view and the field of view. Which I personally did not expect to be that big of a difference having no experience with spotters.

I would definitely go with something a little bit bigger over a less weight just based on the field of view

X-Force:
11-33x50 is not enough to really pick apart the back country during season imo. It's OK for summer and early season scouting. During season you will want more power with a larger objective so you can actually see what your looking at.

coachcw:
Pack good glass and shave wieght else where

MtnMuley:
Definately go with a backcountry spotter in the 12-40×60 mm or 15-45×65mm size. Depending on the hunt, even the 20-60x80mm. :twocents:
