Everybody seems to have an opinion on the best red dot or traditional optic, but you rarely hear anyone mention spotting scopes. Spotting scopes are quickly gaining popularity in both the hunting and long range competitive shooting communities. When regular binoculars won’t work a spotting scope can quickly mean the difference between a trophy hunt and going home with your tail between your legs.<\/p>\n

Due to the varying income levels people have I’m going to try to include a few options at different price levels. All of my readers have different income levels so what’s best for me might not be what’s best for everybody.<\/p>\n
<\/a>The Vortex Optics Razor Hd Spotting scope is easily the most expensive spotting scope I’ve ever used in the field. Luckily a friend of mine won a fully stocked gun safe at a gun raffle that we both attend. The overall price of the gun safe and contents was 25k dollars. It was filled with 3-4 thousand dollar guns, but the only thing the raffles sponsors were talking about was this spotting scope. Nobody could believe the quality of this vortex scope. If it wasn’t for my firsthand experience with this scope I don’t think I could ever recommend something this expensive.<\/p>\n The Vortex Optics Razor HD spotting scope is easily the nicest spotting scope I’ve ever used. Vortex easily competes with even the most expensive optics that cost $1000 more and blows away the competition at this price point. This scope is available in both the angled<\/a> and Straight spotting scope<\/a> design. It performs way above it’s price range and has amazing clarity. This is comparable to some of the most expensive swarovskis on the market. Until you compare this scope side by side to a 700-1000 dollar scope you won’t know what your missing. Offering a 27-60x magnification you could probably spot a quarter from 1000 yards away. This is an extremely durable unit and Vortex offers a lifetime replacement warranty if you somehow manage to destroy. Though it’s probably out of your price range it is easily one of the clearest spotting scopes on the market.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a>The Vortex Optics Razor HD 11-33×50 Spotting scope is another excellent product in their lineup. This Vortex spotting scope is offered in both a angled<\/a> and straight design<\/a>. You might have noticed that I really like Vortex Optics. Vortex offers outdoorsmen an amazing amount of quality at a reasonable price. It’s hard to find a comparable optic at this price point.<\/p>\n If you’re looking for a mini spotting scope the Razor HD is well worth a look. The optical clarity on this scope is amazing, on par with every other similarly priced scope. Even at 33x magnification(which is farther than most people will ever need) you get a crystal clear picture. The only real difference between this sight and Vortex more expensive models is the magnification level. I’ve never actually dropped one of these but they look like they can take a beating. I have one of these Vortex spotting scopes setup on my back porch and use it almost everyday. I’ve never been disappointed with mine and I highly doubt you’ll be disappointed with yours.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a>Honestly most people don’t have a need for the worlds most expensive spotting scope. It might get used a couple times a year during hunting season, or be used to occasionally look at trees in the backyard. If this sounds like you than the Bushnell Trophy Xtreme is the perfect fit for you. It is available in both 16-48x50mm<\/a> and 20-60x65mm<\/a>. Either one of these spotting scopes will fulfill most peoples needs.<\/p>\n This Bushnell Spotting Scope comes with everything that you need. The package in includes the spotting scope, window mount, tripod, soft case and hard case. If you are looking for a straight spotting scope this will be hard to pass up for the price. This is a very well made solid scope that seems like it will last forever. If it doesn’t last forever there is a lifetime warranty that should cover any damage. The only real downside to this spotting scope is the lens cover. It seems a little bit cheap, which it probably is. This Bushnell Trophy Xtreme Spotting scope is an extremely nice scope for the price.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
