Want the best in optics at the best prices?  I have scouted out various optics companies and I must say that I am very, very impressed with Vortex.  Their optics are unbelievable and the prices are much less than optics in Vortex's quality range.  That's why these are the only optics that I recommend for my customers.  I have access to four other lines of optics, but my experience with Vortex lets me know that these are the best binos and optics for the money.

The finest binoculars Vortex offers, the Razors take advantage of the latest engineering and high-definition glass technology to deliver incredible natural color distinction, brightness from dusk to dawn, and razor-sharp detail—all highly necessary for successfully separating game from cover. Let the "all-around" 8x42 Razors put stunning optical performance to work for you.

The Vortex HD System

Superior Light. Color. Accuracy. Resolution. Imagine taking all the technology of high-definition video broadcasting systems and incorporating that level of performance into an optical system for binoculars that is truly remarkable. That's what you'll find in the Razor class of optics.

ArmorTek is a new, chemically-bonded optical lens multi-coat that increases light transmission, color fidelity, and image resolution—while providing unprecedented protection for the lens surface with a proprietary fluorine compound which is ultra-hard and highly scratch-resistant. ArmorTek's unique strain-proof top coat features a slippery surface that actually repels the oil and corrosive salts of fingerprints. Dust, dirt, and smudges are all easily wiped away without fear of scratching the optical glass beneath.

XD (Xtra-low Dispersion) glass objective lens elements of extra-low dispersion glass enhance image resolution—carefully selected and precision-crafted to exacting standards for true-to-life images of startling clarity and color accuracy.

XR coatings deliver incredible image detail with extremely high resolution and light transmission. Fully multi-coated, scratch-resistant coatings eliminate annoying, image-degrading reflections, and offer extraordinary brightness for a lifetime of trouble-free lens protection.

XD Optical Design is an advanced optical element configuration that virtually eliminates aberrations and provides distortion-free, flat field images with unmatched edge-to-edge accuracy and detail.

Excels in the roughest cover—just like you

Not only is the Razor built to withstand avid use in tough terrain, the argon gas guarantees waterproof, shockproof, and fog proof performance. This advanced process protects your Razor binocular in the following ways:

• Argon gas does not absorb or react chemically with water.
• Argon gas eliminates internal fogging.
• Argon gas maintains its protective properties over a wider temperature range.
• Argon gas does not diffuse as quickly as other elements, extending the service life of the optics longer.

Comfort is in the details

Oooooh. That feels good. Wrap your hands around the ergonomic open hinge design and you will instantly become attached to the slim, thoughtfully designed 8x42 Razor. Not only machined to perfection, the Razor redefines balance and comfort in a binocular. Naturally weighted and contoured to fit your hands better than any other—fatigue is a thing of the past.

• Fine focus corrections are locked in place with a conveniently placed center diopter.
• Satisfying full field viewing comfort comes with tapered eyecups that retract to your choice of several distinct positions.
• Flared eyecups replace standard eyecups to block out bright stray light and keep image contrast at its best.
• Ridged rubber armor with fingertip grips gives you a solid hold in any weather.
• Rugged chassis with a lightweight carry.
