Anyone have experience with this spotter? The name wants me to think junk, but it seems to get good recommendations with the bird watching crowd.

It's either this or the Razor HD and this is about half

I had one and ended up selling it. It's a pretty darn good scope for the cash, but you would be better served buying the first gen Razor on closeout right now for the superior Vortex customer service & resale value. If you can swing the extra cash the 80HD Swaro is superior in every way, though it better be for the price difference.

Pros: Cost, dual speed focus.

Cons: Low light performance, less than stellar customer service, horrible resale value.

There are a few threads in the optics forum that discuss the big Zen.
