Vortex Razor

High-performance binoculars – redefined.

The finest binoculars Vortex offers, the Razors take advantage of the latest engineering and high-definition glass technology to deliver incredible natural color distinction, brightness from dusk to dawn, and razor-sharp detail – all highly necessary for successfully separating game from cover.

The Razor HD System

Superior Light. Color. Accuracy. Resolution. Imagine taking all the technology of high-definition video broadcasting systems and incorporating that level of performance into an optical system for binoculars that is truly remarkable. That's what you'll find in Razor class optics. Let the long-range grasp of the Razor put stunning optical performance in your pack.

XD objective glass elements of extra-low dispersion glass enhance image resolution, and are carefully selected and precision-crafted to exacting standards for true-to-life images of startling clarity and color accuracy.

XR coatings deliver incredible image detail with extremely high resolution and light transmission. Fully multi-coated, scratch-resistant coatings eliminate annoying, image-degrading reflections and offer extraordinary brightness for a lifetime of trouble-free lens protection.

XT optical design is an advanced optical element configuration that virtually eliminates aberrations and provides distortion-free, flat field images with unmatched edge-to-edge accuracy and detail.

Excels in the roughest cover. Just like you.

Not only is the Razor built to withstand avid use in tough terrain, the argon gas guarantees waterproof, shockproof, and fog proof performance. This advanced process protects your Razor binocular in the following ways:

• Argon gas does not absorb or react chemically with water.

• Argon gas eliminates internal fogging.

• Argon gas maintains its protective properties over a wider temperature range.

• Argon gas does not diffuse as quickly as other elements, extending the service life of the optics longer.

Comfort is in the details.

Wrap your hands around the ergonomic open hinge design and you will instantly become attached to the slim, thoughtfully designed Razor. Not only machined to perfection, the Razor redefines balance and comfort in a binocular. Naturally weighted and contoured to fit your hands better than any other – fatigue is a thing of the past.

• Fine focus corrections are locked in place with a conveniently placed center diopter.

• Satisfying full field viewing comfort comes with tapered eyecups that retract to your choice of several distinct positions.

• Flared eyecups replace standard eyecups to block out bright stray light and keep image contrast at its best.

Vortex Skyline 80mm Spotting Scope

Impressive in low light
The Skyline is an amazing scope for those low light hours when wildlife is most active. In the grey light of early dawn, when you hear frogs, birds, or the rustle of some critter in the brush, the large 80mm objective lens really works hard for you by grasping all the light you need to pull fine details out of hazy scenes and shadowy woodlands.

• Distinctive Broadband coatings reduce surface reflections for the most impressive images at high magnifications.

• Fully multi-coated optics increase the amount of light passing through the scope for even brighter, more detailed views.

Exceptional zoom range
Watching animals from a distance is even easier with the Skyline spotting scope's powerful zoom eyepiece. From near to far, the Skyline will impress you with crystal clear details and natural colors throughout the entire zoom range. This versatile 20-60x eyepiece lets you take in whole scenes, or zoom in for antler counts. Designed for comfort (even with eyeglasses), all you do is twist back the eyecup for pleasing, wide-field viewing.

Extra-Low Dispersion Glass (Available on Skyline ED Models Only)
The Skyline ED uses Extra-Low Dispersion Glass in the optical system to correct for chromatic aberrations.  The result? Bright, sharply defined images with correct colors throughout the powerful 20-60x zoom range.

Rugged construction you can count on
State-of-the art technology works smoothly to deliver exceptional contrast through the 80mm Skyline spotting scope — perfectly suited for years of high quality, long distance viewing in challenging viewing situations. Enclosed in a robust and rugged housing, you'll be ready for any kind of weather or terrain imaginable with this dependable scope.

• Complete waterproofing against the effects of dust, rain, sleet, and snow on the optics is certain due to tight O-ring seals.

• Clear fogproof viewing in sudden temperature changes is a reality because the nitrogen purged optics prevent internal fogging of the lenses.

Angled eyepiece design (Model ED80SK-A and SKL-80A)
The angled eyepiece position is a favorite among folks who spend much of their time watching birds high in the treetops, scanning higher elevations for wildlife, or gazing up at the moon. In other words, the angled eyepiece is ideal for people who often view upward from a lower vantage point. And, if you tend to share your scope with others, you'll find the angled eyepiece position of the Skyline spotting scope readily accommodates users of many different heights ... with less adjusting of the tripod.

Straight eyepiece design (Model ED80SK-S and SKL-80S)
The straight eyepiece position of the Skyline spotting scope works well when viewing downward from an elevated platform, such as a deck or patio. The more natural line of sight of the straight eyepiece is favored by many novice users trying to follow wildlife on the move. The Skyline also features a tripod mounting collar that lets you rotate the scope body to virtually any angle you prefer — especially useful for viewing with car window mounts.

Included with the Vortex Skyline 80mm Spotting Scope:

• Table-top tripod (Not Included on Skyline ED Models)

• Eyepiece cap

• Objective lens cap

• View-through carry case

• Vortex VIP Lifetime Warranty
