100% agree with everything you’ve said. I've owned the original 11-33x50 for around 5-6 years. I love it, but the eyepiece takes some getting used to for sure. Its the best bang for your buck for lightweight backpacking. I don't think I will ever buy a different style or higher power. Just dont need it. I've used it out here for coues, elk, bear and sheep in AZ.

great vid, mate. I was late to the party and only just recently purchased the 11-33x50 Razor and it is very nearly the complete package. They did a really good job.

I went with the straight in the baby razor for the very reason you stated. I just cannot go with an angled scope when it won’t rotate. I also find the straight easier for target acquisition, packability, spotting from a car, and I can even use it as a monocular. Overall, a great spotting scope for hunting.

@DialedinHunter 5 ай бұрын

Nice. Yeah, you definitely get faster target acquisition with the straight. Always a bummer whenever switching from binos to spotter and you can't find what you were looking at.

@Aldocello1 6 ай бұрын

Just got mine and it is great .... I got the angled version and at first the lack of being able to rotate the scope was a negative , however what I have found is I have great ballheads on all my tripods so when the need presents itself , I can rotate it using the the ball head ...

@DialedinHunter 6 ай бұрын

Great to hear and that is definitely a plus for a ball head. Good luck!

Aziak equipment makes an adapter ring that allows you to rotate the angled spotting scope.

For the moment can’t really spend crazy amount of money but i want to get the Diamondback HD 16-48x65. I want it just to spot deer at distance and observe the wildlife around. Then the Viper HD 20-60x85 came around on offer so I can’t decide which one to go with… I wonder if you had any experience with any of them. Great video as always.

@DialedinHunter 3 ай бұрын

Either will do what you want. The Viper is definitely gonna be better quality glass though. If you can swing it, that's the one I'd go with. If not, the Diamondback will work just fine.

How hard is it to get rid of the older 11-33x50 version? Used mine for the first time this week near Patagonia on a couse hunt, and it came apart. Seems to me it's junk to me... idk what I did for this to happen... Not sure what to get now We got a Couse buck. Totally fun!

@jamesmooney5348 8 ай бұрын

I may try the Mavin brand

@DialedinHunter 8 ай бұрын

Congrats on your coues! They're such a fun critter to hunt. I'm sure Vortex would take care of that for you. Not sure how hard it would be to get rid of.

@@DialedinHunter Your couse video helped a lot, proving what you shared to be correct- Thanks! It was fun 1st time being around white tails. Seeing that white flag blossom round from a distance through binoculars was kinda moving.... Like they turned on their after burners..... The heart and T loins were very very delicious! -Cooked with butter, minced garlic, onion, sage, rosemary and garlic salt -out of this world. Yeah, I know they'll fix it. But I still think it's junk! Should have never come apart. I don't like the eye cup either... live and learn. I have or am an expensive R & D program....
