Vortex Mini Razor vs Vortex Razor Spotter

<< < (2/2)

I owned the original 50mm Razor spotter and imo it was not worth the weight savings. A great pair of binos would be a better option. The glass on my 10x42 Geovid Pro binos make my 65mm Razor look like poop.

I like good 50mm spotters, and I agree.  The old 50mm razor was simply not worth it.

If I was in the market for a new 50ish mm spotter I would be looking very closely at this new one.

Good point! That was also another option I was thinking. I currently run 10x42 vipers and found myself wanting a little more power this past season.

I think if I went down in size, I'd go up in glass quality and look at the Swaro.


I went a different route recently than that. I love my EL10x42s, and last year I happened to spot a deer on a long ridgeline over a mile away. My Razor UHD gen 2 showed it was a 3x4, great! But I also saw other deer and looked with the scope, only to find more deer I hadn't seen with the 10x. And more, and more. How many deer was I missing out on with the 10x in the shadows that far away? And how many was I missing with the reduced FOV of the spotter? Had to do it, bought some SLC 15x56s. Can't wait to try them out this year.

Lots of brick and mortar stores carrying it. Go check it out. For me the edge to edge clarity was a non-starter. A little time behind the Swaro ATC/STC and time spent reading reviews from more experienced optics guys leaned me that direction.
