Owned the Vortex RAZOR® HD 27-60X85 for roughly a year now. Mainly used as a spotting scope for target shooting out to 1000 yards. And also as a spotter in 3gun competition where engagement can go out to 600 yards or more. And lastly used as a general animal/nature spotter when I go on vacation.
I find the scope excellent in terms of overall build quality and feel. All the knobs move freely without feeling loose. Even the scope cover is well made and functional.
I was able to clearly spot hits on C zone steel out to 1000 years in a variety of weather conditions (hot/humid, to over-cast, morning, evening, etc).
Also was able to clearly identify groups of basking seals on the beach from 800 yards.
Able to clearly determine make/model of cars from 1000 yard.
Able to see 223 holes on paper at 300 yard.
Over all I'm very satisfied with my purchase so far and knowing Vortex have a no BS warranty is another reason why I chose Vortex.
