Evening all,
I'm after some advice regarding upgrading my current scope.This is my first post so please be gentle
I've currently got a Hawke Nature trek 20-60x80 and i'm looking to upgrade.
I've done a lot of internet research and I think i've narrowed it down to a Vortex Razor HD 85 or Swarovski ATX 85.
I can afford the Vortex scope now, but would have to wait a year or so for the Swarovski.
Question is, is the wait for the Swarovski worth it, or is the performance difference vs cost not sufficient to warrant the extra expenditure? I'll mostly be using it for looking at waders on the Ythan estuary in Scotland, range out to 800m or so.
The problem is i can't try the Vortex out where I live in NE Scotland.
If anyone has any real world advice it would be gratefully received.
Cheers
Pete
