...Do y'all think they will release a Gen II of the 20x anytime soon? If so, what improvements would you like to see. Hopefully, if they do, I would like to see a magnification improvement to 25x+.

Rifle Scopes Gen II Vortex Razor HD 6x....

Re: Gen II Vortex Razor HD 6x....
For Gen II I'd like to see the big scope drop to 34mm - more mounting options, also think they should standardize into one tree type reticle - take the 2b and move the numbers back out like on the ebr2.
I'd absolutely love to see a mid range Razor, something that would be at home on an SPR - maybe a 2-10 or 2-12 with a tree type reticle.

Re: Gen II Vortex Razor HD 6x....
Everything a S&B has except at RazorHD price.
If I have to cherry pick, on the EBR3 moving the .1mil hashes to an offset range finder, instead of at the edges of the reticle.
And maybe ability to lock the windage knob.

+1 on the offset range finder, only I prefer starting with the 2B reticle. I'm thinking a .1 mil increment L shape, something like what Leupold is doing on the MK6 with the ranging L off to the left and extending up.

Re: Gen II Vortex Razor HD 6x....
I just picked up a Razor EBR-3 for my new build. I'm hitting the range today so I'll have more feedback this evening. Vortex could drop it down to a 34mm but more rings are becoming available for the 35mm tube. I'm good with 20x but higher magnification would be a nice option. A 3-15x/4-16x would be a nice option as well. Not big issues but things I would like would be- finish it in real flat black, get rid of the cheap scope caps and send a bikini style like the NF, package it with a better ARD and level. They could also do away with the fiber optic on the elevation turret and mag ring.

6-30x
A step up in glass quality.
Short and "wide for click spacing" 10 mil knobs.
Parallax going down to 10Y.

10 mil knobs, 5-25 56mm, and parallax adjustment to shorter ranges.
EBR-2B with a slight modification, the reticle is a little busy, and there is not enough distinction between the 1/2 mil subtensions and the full 1 mil subtensions. Make the 1 mil subtensions considerably thicker and possibly a bit longer. I think the current width of the subtensions is .06 mils. They should increase that width to about .09 but only on the full 1 mil hash marks. They might even consider using a .15 mil diamond instead of the hash mark for a subtension.
