I just purchased a Vortex Razor HD Gen2 1-6x24 and I'm looking at picking up a Bobro mount. However, I'm not sure which one to pick up...the standard, slightly extended or extended? Which one is everyone using, how do you like it so far and why?

I'm planning on adding a "switchview" lever and using it for 3-gun.

I use american defense, and have used the recon (2 inch) and x-recon (3 inch) I strongly prefer the x-recon. Hope that helps.
 
I have SS 1-6x24 & BOBRO slightly extended.

Same set up. I like it alot. The slightly extended is the way to go for a 1-6x or similar. The locking mechanism locks up tight with no play and there is a safety on the release lever to protect against accidental release. The new ones now all have the ring screws on the top which solved about the only gripe I have heard about the Bobro mounts. 8541 Tactical did a video review of the RTZ on the Bobro mount.

I have mine in a Larue 112 and as you can see it is mounted past where a standard receiver would end. The POF has a full rail so it's not a big deal but on a standard receiver I would get an extended mount as the Vortex has a good amount of eye relief.

And you will really like the scope for 3 gun. I used it for the first time this past week at the Bushmaster Tarheel 3 gun match in NC and loved the scope. Great for both close and far steel and paper.

Have a razor 1-6 mounted on a Bobro slightly extended on a Sig 516. It's a good fit. The razor has a large eyepiece and power ring. Don't think the extra extended would work on the razor, the power ring wouldn't clear the rear of the mount.
