Finally got mine out yesterday. Super clear through all the magnification. I ran a box pattern and the tracking was spot on. The zero stop is great, super easy to set. The windage threw me for a loop at first, it comes with a half revolution limiter. Probably should have read the whole manual before hand. I also have a razor gen 2. There's no real difference in the glass that I saw. I didn't check the illumination, but I've never really used it before anyway. All in all, highly recommended, especially at the intro price. I love vortex, especially that they warranty everything, but the intro price can't be beaten on this scope.
