Vortex Razor HD 85mm Angled Spotting Scope (20-60x zoom)

The Vortex Razor HD 20-60x 85mm Spotting Scope follows in the footsteps of the Vortex Viper binoculars that have been gaining a great reputation for value and quality. The Vortex Razor HD spotting scope pushes the performance barrier to the highest limits, delivering a level of optical quality, resolution, and colour fidelity previously available only in the Kowa TSN-883 Prominar and Swarovski ATS 80HD spotting scopes - and at less than two thirds the price!

The Vortex HD System
Built to Vortex's specifications in Japan, the Razor HD features a sophisticated triple apochromatic lens system with two elements, precision-ground from high-definition (HD) optical glass. The result is an almost total elimination of chromatic aberration across the entire field of view so there's no "fringing", degradation of resolution, or dilution of colour fidelity at longer viewing distances.

ArmorTek is a unique, protective coating that hardens and strengthens lenses —actually repelling the oil and corrosive salts of fingerprints. Lenses treated with ArmorTek become:

• Harder and stronger
• Scratch-resistant
• Stain-proof
• Easier to clean - Dust, dirt, and smudges are all easily wiped away without fear of scratching the optical glass beneath.

XD (Xtra-low Dispersion) glass objective lens elements of extra-low dispersion glass enhance image resolution —carefully selected and precision-crafted to exacting standards for true-to-life images of startling clarity and colour accuracy.

XR Coatings deliver incredible image detail with extremely high resolution and light transmission. Fully multi-coated, scratch-resistant coatings eliminate annoying, image-degrading reflections, and offer extraordinary brightness for a lifetime of trouble-free lens protection.

XT Optical Design is an advanced optical element configuration that virtually eliminates aberrations and provides distortion-free, flat field images with unmatched edge-to-edge accuracy and detail.

Argon Gas purging protects your Razor HD spotting scope in the following ways:

• Does not absorb or react chemically with water.
• Eliminates internal fogging.
• Maintains its protective properties over a wider temperature range.
• Does not diffuse as quickly as other elements, extending the service life of the optics longer.

The compact Razor HD body, made of die-cast of magnesium-alloy, is also shockproof. In addition, the angled eyepiece and rotating tripod ring allow greater flexibility when positioning the Razor; a dual focus provides both coarse and fine adjustments for fast and precise focusing.
