I posted this in another thread but haven't gotten many responses. Unless someone tells me they're over rated I'm probably going to get the Vortex Razor HD's this week.
I'm looking to upgrade from my Nikon Monarch 5's. I currently have the 10x42 model. I'm looking at the Vortex Razor HD's 10x42 or possibly 8x42. Do you think I'll see a noticeable difference in these in real world applications? Kinda hard to tell at the store. I'm also considering the Zeiss Conquest. The Razors are lighter and I like the Vortex warranty, customer service and veteran support. I'll be using these mostly on western hunts spending long periods of time behind the glass. I'm looking for opinions on glass/optics quality. The price difference between the Vortex Razor, Zeiss Conquest, Meopta etc doesn't concern me.
