I think I've narrowed my search to these 3 - can someone who has compared these offer some insight? I'm wanting a 65ish mm objective for weight reasons and want the best I can get with a budget of around $1,000. I'd love to get the Swaro STS 65, but just don't know if I want to lay out the cash for it. So with that said, I've got it down to the Endeavor, Vortex Razor Hd, or Kowa TSN 66. Thoughts and input would be greatly appreciated!

I'm biased towards the Kowa... have the TSN 774
If we're not suppose to eat animals...how come they're made of meat?

Vortex Razor Hd is one of the best spotting scope, so you may chose it. Possibly it'll cost you a little more than your budget. May be $1,119 .

Razor HD is your best bet in this case.

Not sure if the Kowa TSN-66 has the fluorite crystal. If so, i'd go for that one otherwise the Vortex Razor.
