Looking for a spotting scope with reasonable clarity out to about 1,200 yards. I don't use a spotting scope that often so I would like to keep the price between $500 and $1,000. I have always had good luck with Vortex products and was considering the Diamondback or Viper 20-60x80 scopes. Good or bad idea?

I wasn't seriously in the market for one right now, but that price has me thinking about the credit card nervously...impulse buying is dangerous!
I agree as well. I went to Sportsman and lined up several different spotters on their tripods they had on display and this seemed the best bang for the buck, in daylight anyway.Vortex Razor HD 20-60x 85 Spotting Scope - Angled

Thanks for the reply. There is a Sportsman's Warehouse about an hour away from me in Greensboro, NC. I will drop by the store and take a look at the scope.
Was this Razor the gen 1 model like pictured? Just making sure it's not the gen 2. If it is I can't order 1 fast enough. I don't think the reticle eyepiece works with the gen 1 though which is what I want.
I know the scope pictured is gen 1. I was wondering if that is what people were actually receiving. The description isn't clear if it's gen 1 or gen 2. Assuming they are clearing out Vortex's inventory of gen 1's.
