What size objective?

[wheels]

60 or 85

[Buckhunter24]

I'm interested in the responses you get, I'm in the market as well. Slightly lower budget. This is what I'm leaning towards at the moment.

I have a vortex ss-p tripod I'd sell if anyone is interested.

[X-Force]

I’d look at a Vortex Razor Gen 1 85.

It’s big and heavy but it has the same glass as the Gen 2 and is still covered by vortex’s warranty. I’ve seen them from 6-900.

The functionality of a 85 is far superior to a 60-65 unless weight is a concern.

You could pick up a good used Leupold gold ring hd for that.

 Save a couple hundred more and look for a used Swaro.

1st gen Vortex Razor would be a good option

Anyone who is a veteran or LE (IIRC) should check out Leupold's VIP pricing.  I estimate that it is about 30-40% off lowest retail and is a game changer on high dollar optics.

Sportsmans Warehouse has the gen 1 Razor 20-60x85mm for $750. 65oz though. But for range and general non back country hunting you will be hard pressed to find something better for $750. And if for some reason it gets smashed they will ship you a new one.

Check the optics classifieds on rokslide. eBay has some decent deals as well.

Gen 2 razor 65mm spotter over on rokslide at the moment.

Look for some used spotters it will get you into a better piece of glass...

Scott Frick on here has a Razor for sale I believe

Oops 

It’s a big investment and can make the price reasonable. Or more times then not like their market predicted you’ll bump up to the top and still spend more then you had planned even with a discount

I snagged a Gen 1 Razor 65mm last year at Sportsman's balloon pop day for the very same reasons.  I wanted good glass for field use and range use.  High end glass was never in the cards as a divorce would be way more expensive and she would probably take it as part of the settlement of assets (I'm joking I think).  But they had them for $799 and I hit a 25% off ticket so I came out really good in the end.

Call the guys at cameralandny.

another question  is what objective size could i get away with
