catclaw Report post Posted September 7, 2009 My buddy has one ( I think it's that model) it was their best one before they came out with the Razor HD, anyway the one he has is pretty impressive- especially considering the price. I have been so impressed with Vortex that I recently consulted on a purchase with a client that ordered 5 Razor HDs and 25 Viper 8.5x50s, almost $25K in optics.

Coues79 Report post Posted September 7, 2009 I have one, bought it from Doug at Cameraland. They are a good scope. Pretty clear, slightly under par of a Swaro or Kowa scope. If you had the money, I would go with a Kowa. They are the best spotters. If money IS an issue, these Vortex Skylines are not a bad way to go. Call Doug and ask him about them (he is a sponsor of this site). He will give you a good rundown of what to expect. Good luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mattobertin Report post Posted September 8, 2009 I have one it is a good scope for the money. Would rather have a swaro but it is double the price. Comparing it to my swaro binos the clarity is very good but the light gathering is not quite as good but still nothing to complain about. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hime Report post Posted September 9, 2009 Check out Eagle Optics website. They have the Skyline ED for sale at a price real close to the regular Skyline. I'm thinking about picking one up right now. JDH Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
