Did Vortex show anything at SHOT that is new for 2025? If not, when do they usually reveal new scopes?
Thanks

Vortex 2025?

- Start date
They haven’t been at SHOT for like 5 years. I think 2019 was their last one. Vortex reveals come when they feel like it. No real timeframe of the year when they do it.
Nothing was announced at SHOT but they will be making announcements through the year so keep an eye out! They have been doing this the past few years so will be the same this year.
Still wondering we we can't buy the amg 1-10. Have to buy a $6k gun package to get one.....
I agree... Hey @Scott_at_Vortex ... Hook us forum guys up, bro! Especially if they can make one with a low-pro locking MIL/MIL setup with dialing elevation turret, and available in FDE and black, too...
too much, in other threads.
There are some cool things in the works, but they stopped going to SHOT years ago because of the ridiculous cost.
This........they've owned geo ballistics now for 2 years and nothing to show of it. I honestly expetec a razor HD glass level RF bino with a sexy highly functional geo ballistics solver built in with solid app tethering. I bet we see it in the next 4-6 months.
There is the Razor HD 4000 GB LRF and Impact 4000 with GB built in. So they have done something but, still no binos. Hopefully the delay in releasing a bino means they're cooking up something on par with the latest offerings (Vectronix, Sig).
I have a review in the works with their latest UHD bino glass compared to some of Germany’s finest and consider me impressed so far…
I expect a set of UHD LRF with GB, but I’ve been expecting that for a while now
Is there any comparison to Swaro 15's ? Let's be honest they are the gold standard.I have a review in the works with their latest UHD bino glass compared to some of Germany’s finest and consider me impressed so far…

It may be but something that Vortex has been doing in years past is not announcing a product until they have a good supply of the product so when they announce it it is there for people to buy and you aren’t sitting around 6 months waiting. It’s pretty smart I think and better for us.
I’d like to see a new AMG model released sooner rather than later.
Looks like a shotgun specific enclosed red dot?
Edit: or just an enclosed red dot that just happens to be mounted on a shotgun for the promotional.
I think it's their new 2-20x42 ultra ultra ultra short!!!
Seriously though, would be great if it was a new AMG. Was hoping 2025 would be the year for new AMG designs, but would rather see a long scope AMG from them again...
I can understand from their point of view that they currently don't have an enclosed dot product offering, so I don't blame them if that's what they plan to release.I think it's their new 2-20x42 ultra ultra ultra short!!!

Do they feel the the LHT series generally fills the gap left by the AMG?
That's what it looks like, doubt it will be AMG class but hopefully it will be one of their non-chinese lines...
Oh God I hope not! The reason we haven't seen any new AMG scopes is because the original AMG group got repurposed; however, there is a new AMG group that is rumored to be hard at work on some new scopes, I really hoped last year would have been the year but I guess COVID (and previous administration) has delayed so much so now hoping this will be the year of AMG resurgence. I'd love to see a new All-American manufacture AMG in the 3-18/4-20 range, under 30oz, with new crossover style reticle that works at bottom mag and at top mag, but what I hope and what actually comes out are not always in alignment
A razor or amg 4-20x50 in the 26oz range would tick a lot of boxes for me!
All American made 3-18 under 30oz?That's what it looks like, doubt it will be AMG class but hopefully it will be one of their non-chinese lines...

Done.

And while I cannot speak for the other reticles, the MPR is usable at 3.2x.

What you and @4O6shootist described is exactly what I’m hoping for lol. Maybe add in the newer style of GEN III turrets also.That's what it looks like, doubt it will be AMG class but hopefully it will be one of their non-chinese lines...

Are they're finally gonna release their enclosed emitter red dot that they've filed patents for back in 2023?

Vortex put their 2025 catalog up, I think today? The new dot is the Viper shotgun enclosed micro red dot. Screenshot below, and link to catalog if anyone's looking
something like a 10x32 UHD RF bino with GB would be idealI have a review in the works with their latest UHD bino glass compared to some of Germany’s finest and consider me impressed so far…
I expect a set of UHD LRF with GB, but I’ve been expecting that for a while now
When they came out with the Fury years ago, I asked Vortex for a set using their best glass (pretty sure Fury is Viper glass), one would think it is inevitable but shocked it has been so many years. Now that they own GB maybe more a possibility?
American Made Glass. They produced a razor AMG 6-24 that had solid glass, 100% American assembled and tested. Japanese glass I believe. Lot of QC issues still, lot of them made a trip(or multiple) back to vortex for service. The gen3 razor has been for the most part, a very reliable scope. So if an AMG gen2 utilizing gen3 razor pedigree(Low manufacturing) it'd be a good price. I love the atacr 4-20x50, have a couple, just wish it was in a lighter package.

Advanced Manufacturing Group. Glass was American too.
Man I'm way off base. Always thought it was something else. Forgot who told me that. Guess I should have researched more.
Not a big deal. Being all American made it might have been one of those names that was made for it. Is what it is. lol
Patents US-12209842-B2 and US-20250004264-A1 may lead you to the promiselands. However, just because they're a patent, doesn't mean they'll be real. I have a couple patents in my name. Two of them never hit production to the public.
Man, I thought they hit it out of the park with that one, specifically as a cross over optic. The few I saw were all solid, razor reliability, great form factor on rifles, under 30 oz, usable mag range for the average hunter/field shooter. I still look for them on the secondary market from time to time.
