I have a swaro. Better, yes. But a razor on a 1000$ tripod will out perform a swaro on a 300$ tripod. If you have a budget for the entire package ide say 60-70% spotter 30-40% tripod & head to get the best bang for the spotters buck

Buy what you can afford..realizing how much more looking we do than shooting.
My hunting partners Vortex are headed back again for repair.
Looked through hundreds of spotting scopes over the many years..i have never regretted buying swaro binos, and spotting scope.
I indeed have looked through Vortex and quite dislike them, my opinion.
They are not in the same category

the razor was very nice, not that much of glass quality diffference between swaro IMO.
main reason i switched was the weight difference between the 2 and being a ****hair sharper at 60 power.
u cant go wrong with vortex razor, great glass,price and customer service and warranty.
I'm sure all brands have warranty issues, but I do know I just sold a 30 year old pair of Leicas that never had to go in for warranty....just saying !
My brother has two Vortex HD 65mm spotting scopes(Viper and a Razor) and he's as hard on gear as anyone I know and so far so good, but in saying that Ill take my Leica over his Vortex anyday.....
7mm PRC soon to be the most popular cartridge in North America
The only reason I bought a razor HD is because I was able to sell a long range set up which paid for 85% of the cost. A viper would be fine for glassing mulies to moose. Save the money, buy a viper, and a good tripod and you will be happy
