Title: Vortex Razor HD Spotter
Post by: Wea300mag on September 04, 2012, 08:40:22 PM: Has anyone ever seen these under $1599? Every place I check is the same price. I'm on the fence right now choosing a new spotting scope between the Vortex Razor HD and the Nikon Fieldscope ED 25-75X (82mm).

I appreciate everyone's input, thanks. :hello:

I got mine for $1200. They now have a $200 off discount with code BFLRH
