They look more like Swarovskis maybe??
That alone will probably sell a few.

Will you be able to get the front lens cap on/off without a fight?
Boy no kidding! I thought it was just mine!

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.

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)

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.

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

Wow, without a doubt.

Will they be making a 20-60x65?
That is the news I got

Vortex website says 27-60x85 and 22-48x65
You are correct and I am wrong.

Yes I got it this weekend! Excellent clarity! I haven't taken it out in the field yet, so from my house I only can look about 600 yards, but it I was very impressed at that distance.Good to hear, thanks

What is everyone's opinion on it?
Pros and cons to the 65 vs. 85?
I've never owned a good spotter but now that I live in Wenatchee I've been able to get out way more and need to have a good spotter to go with my new Swarovski binos I picked up this summer :tup:

That's a deal for the 85. It's not the the newer one but they were normally $1600. I have 1 and it's great. Not the greatest for packing around but great to look through. Just get a good tripod and panhead.I thought that was the new one. I suppose the 85 is bigger for packing vs. the 65. Also not sure about angled vs straight yet.

You are right that is the old model but a good price.
An outstanding price. We have an angled Razor 85 and it is pretty heavy, but it is a fabulous scope.
