The more we used the Vortex Razor HD 65mm the more it continued to impress us. Especially when compared to other spotting scopes that cost 2-3 times as much. Overall light gathering ability is pretty impressive right up to last light. However definition and sharpness does noticeably start to suffer as the light fades. So basically you’ll have no problem spotting that buck at last light, but you might struggle to see his 5” extra hanging off one side where you might be able to see it with the more expensive high end spotters on the market. Colors are accurate and for the most part neutral and un-bias. Definition in the center of the scope is good, but starts to suffer as you move to the outer edges. The field of view is nice but I would prefer it to be a little wider to eliminate the “tunnel vision” effect that you get with a narrow field of view. At 18x the FOV is still 138ft which is plenty for locating game then zooming into 48x for a closer look. Eye relief is generous throughout the entire zoom range and eye glass wearers will not have any FOV restrictions with the eye cup twisted down.
