Vortex Razor HD 85mm Spotting Scope? Opinions?

[Capt.Canuck]

I'm looking at nice spotting scopes at the moment and this one caught my eye. Any owners out there that can share their impressions?

I'm also looking at Kowa at a slightly higher price point, but the no questions asked Vortex warranty (even if I tip my tripod onto the concrete at the range) is pretty darn appealing.

TIA.

The 20-60x85 HD is on my 'to buy' list before fall so I will be watching this thread for motivation.

The other contender is the Pentax ED-A 80mm.

I have one it's great. NO issues at all. Vortex seem a top company. Clarity is excellent as well as build quality.

I actually just ordered a new Pentax ED-A 80mm with 20x60 lens (and tripod) all for just under $1K.

Found a great deal on it and it has an excellent lifetime warranty as well.
