Any "compact scopes" that you like? (1 Viewer)

Still comparing the ED50 and the Vortex....I still like both. I used the Vortex in the early morning light and found the common gallinule and a least bittern(no pic).

Used the ED50 and VP 8X25(ultralight birding!) to spot an out season blue-winged teal and black bellied whistling ducks(a long distance and poor light)..

So for two months...no scope over 56mm of the Vortex Razor HD 13-39X56! So far I haven't missed anything except the excess weight and bulk!
