So I am looking for a spotting scope. Been doing lots of research. I know everyone says "just save up". Well, its not even about saving as I could afford a Swarovski today, but the wife might just lose her ##### as I need a couple other things this year.
So, to get by for the next year or three, I was looking at a mid range SS. I know everyone knocks Vortex for being mediocre glass and not worth the money, but I found a sale on the older Razor HD 16-48x65. $764 shipped brand new, from authorized dealer. I am pretty rough on equipment so theres also that warranty I can fall back on.
Being that the price seems right, can I really go wrong? I have never owned a spotting scope. Everything Ive read and watched tells me this is a pretty smoking deal in the end but theres always that fear of disappointment.
Any thoughts would be great!
