Frequently Asked Questions

Where are vortex spotting scopes made?

Vortex spotting scopes are designed and engineered in the USA, but they are manufactured in various countries depending on the model. Most entry-level and mid-range models, like the Diamondback HD and Viper HD, are made in China or the Philippines to keep costs accessible while maintaining quality. Premium models, such as the Razor UHD, are typically manufactured in Japan for higher-end optical performance. Regardless of origin, all Vortex spotting scopes are backed by their VIP Lifetime Warranty.

Are vortex spotting scopes any good?

Yes, Vortex spotting scopes are highly regarded for their excellent optical quality, rugged durability, and great value across all price points. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced hunter or birdwatcher, Vortex offers sharp, clear image performance, user-friendly designs, and reliable waterproof, fogproof construction. Plus, every scope is backed by Vortex’s industry-leading VIP Lifetime Warranty, making them a trusted and popular choice for outdoor enthusiasts worldwide.

What size spotting scope for hunting?

For hunting, a spotting scope with a 60mm to 85mm objective lens and magnification between 20x and 60x is ideal. A 60–65mm scope offers a good balance of portability and performance, perfect for backpack hunts or shorter hikes. If you’re glassing at longer distances or hunting in wide open terrain, an 85mm scope provides better light gathering and detail, especially in low-light conditions. Choose based on how far you need to see and how much gear weight you’re willing to carry.
