Question for the Glass geeks out there..

Got a vortex razor 27x60x80 straight tube. Think 1k would do it.

Got one season on it.

My 2 cents…. I hate to sound like a snob saying “swaro” but hear me out. I have hunted with Vortex Nightforce and Swaro spotters. There is a reasonable difference between Vortex and NF. Similar priced but Nightforce definitely does a better job. We then spotted a Coues buck in my Swaros buried in cactus … knowing where the buck was we tried to view him in the NF. We could NOT make the buck out through the cactus. A clear tangible difference that made the difference in our hunt. JT was able to connect with the buck. And if he sees this tread he can comment. Bottom line is I will not hunt with anything else. I would rather have the very best glass and a crappy 6.5 creed… than a custom rifle and mediocre glass….

Don't know how I ever killed anything with the old Bushnell's and the Win Mod 70 30-06....Now, i'm one of those guys with the Swarovski glass and a crappy 6.5 CM... :joy:

I like swaros, but recoil makes me feel better about myself so I avoid the creed. A custom 338 RUM is where the fun is at!
