Vortex Razor 27-6-x85 vs Meopta HD 80

[Poorboyr]

I'm down to purchasing one of the above spotters. Has anyone had any dealings with both of these? Any information you can provide would be helpful. The spotter will be used for long range shooting. The cost is a wash because they are both pretty much the same price.

I have the Meopro 20~60 HD. Excellent IMO. I damaged my first one; my fault. Sent it in and they replaced it with a new one at no charge. Couldn't be happier.

I have no experience with the Razor.

 

[Poorboyr]

Thanks. I was leading towards the Vortex because of the warranty, but your comment puts a spin on that.

I've not looked through the newest Razor.....I'm sure it's an excellent spotter. I went with the Meopta S2 82 HD. The Meopta is an outstanding spotter for the money, IMHO. I think Meopta compares favorably to spotters with names that start with "Z" or "S". You'd probably be extremely happy with either.

Here's one with the 20-60X eye piece.....and the guy says he'd entertain offers.....might be able to score this in the $13xx.xx range:

You can get the Meostar S2 (better than the Meopro) for about the same price as the Razor at Sport Optics, with coupon code. It's a great scope.

Where would one acquire this coupon code?

Where would one acquire this coupon code?

Sportoptics.com

Click on current sales and promotions. And... if you go to the specific product (Meostar S2), you'll see a little link underneath the price that says click for coupon (15% off).

Even with the code these can had cheaper many places ,unless they are going to price match plus the code .

Prove it. Where can one get a new Meostar S2 with an eyepiece for less than $1800. Or a new Vortex Razor HD 85mm (with eyepiece) for less than $1440? Or a new Meopro HD for less than $1275? Those are the prices through Sport Optics. And free shipping.

I'm not here to do your homework , you find it for yourself phucknut.

 

[opeagle]

Really classy, and not at all helpful. While everyone has an opinion, I see no reason for this in an optics forum.

I thought we all come here to get help and help others, We don't need to make such comments to people, there is enough hatred in the world we don't need to bring it here..

I completely agree with that statement. People need to share stuff here, not be rude and ignorant.

That's what I thought. You're full of shit, buddy. The onus is on you, not me. You're the one coming in here making empty claims without contributing anything of value to this discussion. The FACT is, the cheapest place on the net for one of these optics is what I said above. I did my homework. It's telling, though, that you got super defensive about it when I called you out. And it's weird you turned this into a pissing match. Over what? Because you're upset about what price a retailer sells a scope for? Really strange...

 

[devldogs55]

I got a Razor HD 85mm for WELL under $1440 about 3 weeks ago. It's minimum "advertised" price - not minimum price.

this crybaby sent me a message that he has now "disliked"me on the hide , what a cry baby .

1. No, I didn't send you a PM. This new forum automatically sends you a message whenever someone likes or dislikes a post.

2. Calling me a crybaby and then publically crying about it yourself, makes you look like even more of a loser.

3. Here's the mature PM you sent me so everyone here can see it: "Go fuck yourself, crybaby."

Just so you don't get surprised by another auto PM, I'll be reporting your posts and PMs. Sure that makes me a crybaby. But I don't use this forum to be pushed around by people like you. I and a lot of other people are here because we share a common interest and we should be supporting each other, not behaving like children.

Being an abrasive unhelpful jerk might have something to do with it, but it's good know you're not seeking validation from others for your abysmal behavior.

 

[locotrician]

What a bunch of ball baby bitches this place is becoming, all this because I told him there were cheaper options than what he was trying to say was the cheapest . Abysmal behavior? Really? He is the one that got all pissed when I didn't wanna tell him where to look when it all required was the use of Google and or a phone , ill point people in the right direction but I won't do all the work for them . Lastly , report me all you want , I have been a member here for many years .

 

[Poorboyr]

I appreciate you guys adding such great value to the post. I think its quite amusing how you two are carrying on about this.

You might of been a member for many years but you need to adjust you attitude and being abusive only proves limited intelligence and that a person has very little to offer and as such serves No Purpose, And it would benefit us all if such behaviour resulted in people being Banned from the forum.

When a person reaches out asking for help they deserve better, And seeing as you can't except responsibility for your own Actions,

I here by Apologise to Poorboyr on your behalf .

I had narrowed it down to these 2 exact same spotters. I hadn't looked at the meopta before but was able to look at the razor at cabelas. After reading, I went with the razor. Also, I was persuaded after talking to camerlandny, that the sold the vortex 25:1 if that tells u anything

 

[wind gypsy]

Tells me vortex and cameraland probably advertise them 25x more.

 

[Scott037]

I went with the vortex razor it seem the best for the money

 

[Ilikepie]

I picked up the Vortex from a local shop for under $1400 out the door. I am very happy with it

 

[700smooth]

Following kinda curious on this i have the razor right now

 

[FourT6and2]

It's June 2, 2017 and locotrician just PM'd me AGAIN... THREE MONTHS LATER to tell me off. I haven't said a word to him since this thread. This guy is a nut job...

 

[Poorboyr]

Yeah. I agree. He went a little overboard. By the way, went with a bushnell elite. Amazing spotter for the money.

 

[JWG284]

Bushnell is coming a long ways with their glass. I have a Vortex but a little late to recommend.
