Has anyone had a look at and through the new Vortex Razor Spotters? I need a smaller spotter for putting in a pack and now with the 50mm and 65mm versions available they look like a good option. In particular the 65mm.

We use Vortex spotters down at K&M and they are excellent, especially for the money.
Been using them for some time now......pure and simple with all the product I have from them. They ROCK.
Mike and Chiller, you guys have experience with the new 50 and 65mm Razor spotters and are impressed then.
Between the 50mm and 65mm anything you can share about each model?
I would like to see a review on these spotters!

I have an 85mm angled spotter with both eye pieces. It really is a great spotter. Looking at the 50 & 65mm models, I noticed the rotational ring is not on the 50.
I'd be interested in looking through both of the smaller units. The rotational ring does come in handy.

I'm also dying to get some feedback on the 50mm razor spotter...seems like the perfect size for how much hiking we do.
I have an angled 65mm. Though I have not done a direct comparison with the larger 85mm, this 65mm is on par with the rest of the Razor line with exceptional clarity. I am still looking at the new Bushnell offering with the reticle, as I am forced to carry two eyepieces with the Razor.
I'm looking at the 85mm Razor HD for my first spotting scope and just curious what the benefits are of the angled eye piece over the straight? Which would you guys suggest? It will mainly be on a window mount in my pickup for scouting or on my shooting bench with the occational hike (2 or 3 times a year).
The angled eye piece is really designed for shooters/observers using different positions. It allows you to set it up on a stand (whatever type you may use) and look down into the scope compared to lowering your head to look straight in. It's really a matter of comfort. When shooting in prone position it also allows you to keep a lower profile and limit how much your body has to come up from that position since looking down is easier then looking straight when prone. If you have the right stand you can always turn it parallel to you so you just learn over and look in.. you don't have to get "behind" the scope per-say. Hope that helps!
I've been looking at this series for tactical competitions. Has anyone tried it with the range finding reticle and at what distances what it effective to?
