[QUOTE="FrankD, post: 3337599, member: 18544"] Glad you like the scope Ptickner. It definitely is going to serve a purpose in my scope selection. With the new tripods I also purchased I am sure I will have fun taking it out often enough. On another note, I did look at the 25-75x100 scope you mentioned. Nothing seems "wrong" with it per se. My only reservation would be paying $400+ for a scope that does not use ED glass in the design. You know the benefits that it provides from your Razor. As you move up in objective diameter you move up in magnification. As you move up in magnification you typically need better glass to make use of it because of the increased effect that any aberration, chromatic in this case, can have on the image. [/QUOTE]
