can't decide which spotting scope to get. leaning towards the vortex razor hd, but is it worth the extra 700 over the viper hd? would anyone suggest other scopes sub $2000?
oh and 20- 60
The razor is worth the money over the viper. in your price range i'd look at either the razor or the kowa. if you would find a used swaro or leica that would be ideal but those deals are hard to find

If you are shopping in Edmonton I would recommend the Wildbird General Store. They are fantastic to deal with and they are priced well. After looking all over we have bought 5 of our last 6 purchases from there. The one exception was binoculars we got out of Cabelas bargain cave for half price.
I just purchased the lower priced 80mm Olivon from All-Star Telescopes in Didsbury thru the very highly renowned Skywatcher importer located in Vancouver. Mine compares favorably with the cheaper Vortex Diamondback 80mm..... Compared them side by side recently at a local long distance firing range at 60 power and cannot see any difference whatsoever.... note: 60 power is pushing the limit on both.
