Use and Maintenance

The Razor HD 13-39x56 comes with a neoprene cover, two objective/eyepiece caps and a cleaning cloth to protect the lenses daily. Mount it on a stable tripod via its Arca-Swiss foot to fully leverage its precision at high magnifications. Clean the lenses only with the supplied cloth or a microfiber cloth to preserve the optical coatings. Thanks to its waterproof, argon-purged construction, it withstands the humidity and temperature variations typical of Swiss hunting and shooting grounds, in the mountains as well as in the lowlands.
