Thread: Vortex Crossfire HD 12-36X50 angled spotting scope reviews

Hey team

I'm looking at the vortex crossfire HD 12 - 36 x 50 but I was hoping someone had some insight on it?

I'm trying my best to cut weight due to my pack always being bloody heavy hence why I'm after a smaller spotting scope.
I would love the Swarovski ATC 17-40 X 56 version but I can get about 10 Vortex to 1 Swarovski.

Any one used one of these?

Cheers

Not me, but I'm in a similar situation, wanting a decent spotter that is low weight.
This caught my eye, the 7.5-22.5x65 (535g):

Never found that one when I was looking, defiantly lightweight but a bigger compromise on zoom again. From memory the vortex is 800grams and $420 from rubber monkey.co.nz.
Chances are I will pull trigger on the vortex shortly anyway and I can let you know how it goes.
