Vortex spotting scope?

Anyone use the Razor HD 16-48 x 65 with the angled eye piece? I'm looking for something with more magnification than my little Burris 20x and better than the 20-40 Simmons junk I have. At 6.5 pounds it's a porker.

Thanks.

Have you considered the Kowa 663 series?

Yes I have but like the idea of a coarse and fine focus. At this point nothing is set in stone. I'd like to have a better scope for shooting, watching deer and to take on vacation.

I have the 16-48 Vortex Razor with straight eye piece. Overall I think it's a good enough spotter. I purchased the spotter many years ago, and I think there may be better options for the money now. I'm primarily using the spotter during the day, and there are cheaper spotters that I've looked through that compare very well for daytime use. I really like the course & fine adjustment wheel on the Razor though.

I wound up buying a used 663 with a 20-60 eye piece.
