    Rifle Scopes Who wants a New Vortex Razor Gen3 2-12x42 with EBR-9 reticle?

    No,parallax. Haven’t looked through one but have heard the 10x performance sucks. I’ll stick with my Credo 2.5-15 SFP for now. Also have a Swampfox KYLR 2-12 which is pretty impressive for the price. Waiting for the real deal to show up.

    Rifle Scopes Who wants a New Vortex Razor Gen3 2-12x42 with EBR-9 reticle?

    For me, I have several rifles, a MK12 style AR, an 18” AR-10 and a 18” 308 bolt action. For all of these I would prefer something starting in the 2X range with up to 10x or more. I’ve tried 2.5-15x and found the FOV on the 2.5X to be on the fringe of acceptable. I tried 1-8x and found 8x to...

    Read the post just above yours. Click the link, then read the questions and answers from Steiner.

    Rifle Scopes Who wants a New Vortex Razor Gen3 2-12x42 with EBR-9 reticle?

    If you read the questions submitted on the Steiner Product page, 3 people have asked about the mil reticle version and Steiner repeatedly tells them they must look at the T6Xi line for that. So I am not so sure there’s a mil version coming or Steiner‘s own people aren’t up to date on their new...

    I like the Steiner/Burris/Greeley, Co connection. There have been a lot of scopes that looked good on paper but then the reticle or the eyebox was garbage. I definitely want to check one out though.

    Because I want a rifle that i can do both with. Quick shots inside 100 in dark hardwoods and an an animal that may be running, but also some longer more precise shots at distance. I might be hunting in hardwoods, no shots beyond 75 yds in the morning and might be overlooking a mountainside where...

    Rifle Scopes Who wants a New Vortex Razor Gen3 2-12x42 with EBR-9 reticle?

    Maybe proof was the wrong word. It was part of the Razor line. If they were lower quality glass, they would’ve named them Venom, Strike Eagle or PST. I agree it is a different animal made for the hunting only crowd. Instead they tucked a minimalist hunting scope into the Razor line at a price...

    Rifle Scopes Who wants a New Vortex Razor Gen3 2-12x42 with EBR-9 reticle?

    I sold this (discontinued) scope because it didn’t have side focus and that became a problem at various distances. But it’s proof that Vortex can make a Razor 2-10 at 15 oz. It was SFP and MOA though. https://vortexoptics.com/vortex-razor-hd-lh-2-10x40+reticle-G4~BDC~MOA

    Rifle Scopes Who wants a New Vortex Razor Gen3 2-12x42 with EBR-9 reticle?

    Some scopes in this category weigh 32oz and some weigh less than 20, so there’s a wide range. It largely depends on rifle weight. 6-8 oz doesn’t move the needle on a 22# PRS rifle, but on an AR, SPR, DMR or cross-over rifle in the 7-12# range it does make a difference in balance and...

    Rifle Scopes Who wants a New Vortex Razor Gen3 2-12x42 with EBR-9 reticle?

    I think the closest scope might be the Mark 4 HD 2.5-10. It is available both FFP and SFP. 21.5 oz, side parallax, illumination, rev counter, mil/mil is available. I haven’t handled one but my big questions/concerns would be: 1) how is the TMR reticle at 2.5X and 10x? Does it get too thick or...

    H6Xi is MOA only. Just have no interest in MOA any more. It should go the way of VHS tapes except in old non-dialing scopes, like Vari-X III 3-9x40’s where it is being sighted in once and forgotten.

    Brett mentions 20 oz also. Guess I was trying to not be too demanding with my 28 oz limit. Plus I looked at my XTR3 3.3-18 at 29.8 oz and thought, it should be lighter than that. I agree, for balance and versatility lighter weight should be a key attribute for a scope like this.

    Rifle Scopes Who wants a New Vortex Razor Gen3 2-12x42 with EBR-9 reticle?

    We need a serious MPVO that checks all the boxes. Lots of contenders and pretenders but it’s time to stop beating around the bush and provide a scope that can live on SPR’s, DMR’s, LTR’s and hunting rifles alike. A scope that has a minimum of 2.5x or less and max of 10x or more with the...

    I don’t have any industry contacts, but for those of you who do, could we start a petition for this scope and send it to Vortex?

    I don’t mind chi-tech as much if there’s a USA HQ and USA jobs, even some American engineering. Swampfox has some local support and they are involved in the product design. PA is American design, I think, and support for Chinese products. I don’t know what Athlon’s deal is.

    Ok, makes more sense. I’ve considered the following: (asterisks for the ones I’ve owned) Vortex PST G2 2-10x (and G1 2.5-10x) *Vortex Razor HD LH 2-10x Nightforce NXS 2.5-10x Trijicon Credo 2-10x *Trijicon Credo 2.5-15x Trijicon Accupoint 2.5-12.5x (and older 2.5-10x) Eotech Vudu 2-12x *Swampfox...

    Drip - appreciate the detailed rundown on the Athlon. I have an Athlon 1-4.5, given to me, on an AR for Service Rifle comps. It punches above its weight for sure. I try not to spend money on Chinese products. it’s inevitable, I know, but we can limit it, especially in areas where we want...

    New 2024 MPVO Options

    Correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t believe there is an MPVO (min 2.5X or less, max 10x or more) which has all of the following: useful reticle at low and high end decent eyebox decent FOV decent glass MIL/MIL 0.1 or 0.2 good turrets, intuitive, locking, zero stop, rev counter below 28 oz...
