acuter 20-60x80 ED-APO VS. vortex diamondbak 80mm (1 Viewer)

Hello,

This is the narrowest choice from about 10 spotting scopes which I can find in my country. About vortex I know almost everything but for the acuter just a few reviews mostly from sellers.

I can find vortex Db 80mm here for about 700$ and acuter 20-60x80 ED-APO for 750$

If somebody have some suggestions or information I would be very grateful.

Best regards,

Ivan.

Vortex may have longer warranty.

Hello Bino,

Only You speaking to me here

Yes, vortex have life time guarantee.

It may be that the lifetime warranty is more important than the difference in optical performance.

I have not tried either scope, but suppose both are adequate.

There will be sample variation, probably quite large, so I don't think general comments are necessarily all that useful, except with accurate specifications.

A cherry of either scope is probably worth getting, if one can be found.

It would be best to try both scopes side by side in a large hall, or outside in a good day.
If a really good one is found one should buy that and not an identical boxed one untested.
