Razor 10x42 or 12x50

Recommended Posts

So I’ve been using the classic vortex crossfire 12x50s for the last few years and I wanna upgrade. I want new vortex razor hds before shed season  and the spring hunts. I can buy 10x42s now so I’ll have them in time but I don’t wanna be missing out on the extra 2 power I’ve had. Am I gonna be losing a lot going from the 12x50 crossfire to a razor 10x42?  I just don’t wanna regret buying them. I really like the edge clarity and low light glassing compared to my crossfires but will I miss the extra 2x?  What do y’all run as far as chest glass?  Like if yall could only have one pair is it gonna be 10s or 12s?

I built a pair of 30x big eyes and ive pondered this myself.  I've been using my 8s to do a quick scan then grid the area with the big eyes.  But the 8s just don't have enough power.  I would say if you have a pair of 15s go with the 10s.  I have decided I will likely go with meopta 12s over the 10s.  Also consider looking at the meopta line instead of the razors. You can. Get the 12s for $1250 and they are dang close to swaros in quality.

If you're hand holding certainly 10x vs 12x. Easier to hold steady and a wider FOV.

 

Why the Razor vs 

Meopta

GPO

Zeiss

Leica

Kowa

etc

So I bought the razor 10x42s. Today. This isn’t my last pair of glass so I’ll give you sometime.
