Spotting Scope Vortex Razor HD 22-48x65wa
The Vortex Razor HD 22-48x65wa ranks among the absolute top spotting scopes currently available. This premium telescope combines advanced optical technology with robust construction and is developed for demanding shooters, hunters, and nature observers who accept no compromises regarding image quality.
Exceptional optical performance
The three-piece lens system with HD premium extra-low dispersion (ED) glass elements delivers stunningly sharp and colour-accurate images across the entire field of view. These carefully selected and precision-ground lenses eliminate virtually all chromatic aberrations, resulting in crystal-clear observations without colour fringing or edge blurring.
The triple apochromatic lens configuration ensures very high light transmission and minimises optical distortion. Every lens surface in contact with outside air features Vortex's XRPlus anti-reflective coating, which reduces light loss to an absolute minimum. The dielectric multi-layer coatings on the Porro prisms maximise brightness, contrast, and colour accuracy. With an exit pupil of 4.1-1.4mm and twilight factor of 37.82-55.86, the Razor HD performs excellently even in low-light conditions.
ArmorTek protection
The external lenses feature Vortex's extremely durable ArmorTek coating. This ultra-hard protective layer offers superior resistance against scratches, oil, dirt, and fingerprints. The coating ensures the lenses remain easy to clean and stay in perfect condition for decades, even with intensive use under harsh conditions.
Magnesium construction
The housing is manufactured from magnesium alloy, resulting in an exceptionally lightweight yet extremely strong construction. Strategically placed rubber armoring provides additional protection against impacts and ensures a secure grip, even with gloves. At just 1588 grams (3 lbs 8 oz), the Razor HD is remarkably light for a spotting scope of this calibre.
Waterproof and fog-proof
The telescope is fully sealed with O-rings and filled with argon gas. This construction guarantees 100% waterproofing and prevents internal condensation during extreme temperature changes. Whether observing in tropical rain, alpine snow, or high humidity, the Razor HD always delivers a clear and fog-free image.
Precision focusing
The spiral helical focus system with wide focus ring is designed for accurate adjustments. The smoothly running focus ring enables millimetre-precise focusing, crucial at magnifications up to 48x. Even with thick gloves, the ring remains easily operable thanks to its ergonomic design.
Angled eyepiece with rotating collar
The eyepiece is positioned at a 45-degree angle (angled viewing), providing a comfortable observation position during extended use. The rotating tripod collar allows the eyepiece to be turned to any desired position, ideal for observations from a shooting bench, window mount, or irregular terrain. This functionality significantly reduces neck and back fatigue.
Arca-Swiss compatibility
The Razor HD mounts directly to Arca-Swiss tripod heads without requiring additional plates or adapters. This Quick Release compatible system enables fast mounting and dismounting. The standard 1/4"-20 tripod connection additionally offers compatibility with virtually all tripods and mounting systems.
Practical features
The extendable and adjustable eyecup features a rubber coating for comfortable use. Eyeglass wearers can twist the eyecup inward for optimal viewing. The integrated retractable sunshade prevents lens flares during observations in direct sunlight and protects the front lens from rain and snow. A flip-down objective cover and eyepiece cap protect the optics during transport.
Included Stay-on case
Upon delivery, you receive a custom-fit stay-on case that fits the spotting scope perfectly. This padded protective case can remain on the telescope during use and provides protection against impacts and weather conditions. The case features a carrying strap for comfortable transport in the field.
