Small but mighty? Vortex Razor 13-39X56

[LuckyDuck]

I haven't seen much discussion on this spotting scope (https://vortexoptics.com/vortex-razor-hd-13-39x56-spotting-scope.html) but I picked one up last month during the Veterans Day Sale from EuroOptic and I've got to say- I'm rather impressed with what this otherwise little guy has to offer. Still limited on eyepieces (but hopeful that Vortex will release an LER and/or MRAD option in the future) but aside from that, I think that this spotter punches well above its size/price/weight.

Anyone else get a chance to play with one?

My brother had one on an Elk hunt this fall and I was also super impressed. The capability in such a small form factor is the best part imho. You can free hand the thing and put it in the kangaroo pouch in your hoodie no problem

Agreed, the only 'bummer' is you can't rotate it like the other two Razors. But having all 3, I'm still impressed and in my circles consider it the 'little engine that could'. Very impressive glass considering the price point and form factor (in my opinion at least).
