Vortex Razor Gen II HD 4.5-27x56mm

[ninjajimmy]

Just picked up my new scope for my bolt gun and am so impressed! Since I have no rifle yet to mount it on I figured i'd bust out the gear and get some shots of it. So far my impressions are:

- Weight - Heavy, compared to my other scopes i've owned. I don't feel that is a negative. It's nice to know I can club someone with it.

- Reticle - EBR-2C MOA - I like it. Originally I was going with a 1C, but decided I didn't want to wait for one to arrive so I jumped on this 2C locally. My first MOA scope.

- Turrets - Oh man! I love how large and low they are. Very positive clicks and being able to lock them is a plus, and I like the rotation counter.

- Glass looks wonderful. Very bright, clear image. Noticeably better than my PST 6-24x50 FFP and my PST isn't half bad either.

- Illumination - Almost perfect I think. Very crisp and plenty of settings for any situation.

- Magnification - great range!I mean that's why I bought it over the 3-18. I can't see needing more than this in any shooting situation I will be in.

On with the photos! The 6-24x50 that I compare too is getting mounted to my SR-25.

Sweet Ninja !    I was so impressed with the vortex line that ive been getting rid of all my Nikons except for the m-308's.

I would get rid of the m-308's but the holdovers are so handy and accurate,that i just hate to part with em

I made the mistake of looking thru a guys vortex's at the range....he had a pst ...which was nice,but he also had an HD razor...daamn that scope was freakin nice!

Ninja you did good!        :)   Wash

Thanks. I've had a 6-24 previously and liked it. This 6-24 is going on my SR-25 to see how I like it. The Razor HD Gen II are in a different league. Everything I've read and heard says they compare to scopes hat cost $1,500 more. They are very hard to find and get right now. I got lucky to find this one at my local shop.

Shibi likely.

Nice glass brother Jimmy,hope you get alot of service from it.

Got the PST mounted to the SR-25. Seems slightly high, but it actually is perfect. Also got to toss my can on for the photo since I still have a long time to wait for the paperwork.

Drool....Not sure if you've seen this series of testing : http://precisionrifleblog.com/2014/07/01/tactical-scopes-field-test-overview-rifle-scope-line-up/

We were hoping he'd include your scope, but they weren't available at the time.  He may to a second round including the new Gen IIs, plus Tangent Theta (Premier) and maybe other S&B's.  Amazing rig you've got.  Looking forward to some range reports!

Thats some sexy glass. <hump>

Ya I've heard vortex hit a home run on this scope. I want one of these for my 300 WM bad.

Vortex HD scopes are all hogs. I really wanted that 1-6x, but it's damn near 2 lbs. I absolutely love the clarity though.

[98Z5V]

I've been searching out this scope since this post.  I think I'm fucked now...  I love it.

Just got to look though this one next to a S&B, Vortex PST, and a Bushnell HDMR, side-by-side.  This one really stood out:

I'd love to see it next to this new Vortex and the up-coming Tanget Theta (reworked Premier)

What I'm seeing is more reitcles of the Hourus type that would minimize dialing up.

[D.R.D.]

Yeah, the Horus concepts really seem to make holding over (or under in the case of not having to dial up) that much easier.  It's the whole concept that Todd Hodnett seems to emphasize at Accuracy First.

   3 #'s , now I'm really glad I will never pay that much for a scope . I'm sure its worth it though . <thumbsup>

[ninjajimmy]

If you get board, you can always work your biceps with it... <thumbsup>

 

Rifle is scheduled to be delivered tomorrow so fingers crossed. Looking forward to mounting it up and getting it dialed in soon.
