Is the vortex Razor HD Gen 2 still a good deal?

I don’t want to beat a dead horse, but honest question. Why hasn’t the Leupold Mark 5 HD 5-25 and 7-35 scopes been brought up at all in this discussion? Are they not of comparable value to the Razor Gen 2’s? Would they be a better choice at shooting 600-1400 yards compared to the Razor?

Maybe because they are about $400 - 600 more?

they're still more expensive. their reticles until the new one blew. pay more for illumination.

and they dont do much for the sport. vortex sponsors everything.

Shit reticles
More expensive
Charge many hundreds more for illumination when its a standard feature everywhere else.
Less reliable
35MM tube
Plenty of quality issues.
 
Yes, but ATACR’s and ZCO’s where brought up a few times so wondering why people skip over the Mark 5
Just for all the reasons that are stated after my post. Maybe they are great, don't know.
My decisions of purchasing scopes are made by studying reviews on here from guys that have a way better knowledge about them then I'll ever have (manly because of their profession).
That's why my only 2 top tier scopes are a razor g2 and a ZSO. If I would have gotten the later one first I may have skipped over the razor to.
Just purchase a mk5 and have fun with it. No reason to argue, just study all reviews and make a decision.
 
I wish the PR1 and PR2 came in the 7-35 power scopes!!!

Of the two which one would you say has better optical quality towards the higher me magnifications for long range shooting?

Feel free to call Dan at 916-670-1103 and he can answer all your Leupold questions :)
