Looking for Rzr gen ii replacement

[King_beardsly]

So I’m looking to switch up my current optic from a Gen 2 Rzr 4.5-27 to something different but don’t know what direction to head. I was thinking about playing with the XRS3 with the EQL reticle, but haven’t heard much in regards to people’s opinions on the newer stuff from Bushnell, but I’m open to suggestions in that price range.

Couple alternatives -

Burris XTR Pro 5.5-30x56 SCR2 (currently on sale for $1700)
Leupold MK4 HD 6-24x52 or 8-32x56 (1499-1599)

Assuming you aren’t referring to the lvpo,
The ZEISS S3 or S5 in the px here.

Why not a gen3 vortex?

Should have put it’s the 4.5-27

I’ve heard mixed things about them, and noticed the local guys all switched to something different.

I wish I could swap all my Gen II’s to Gen III’s. I enjoy mine for sure BUT with the recent price hike the Gen III is too close and sometimes more expensive then a NF 7-35.

I'd pass on that XRS3. I liked the reticle but the glass was not up to par. What you have is better.

Look at:
Zeiss S3
Burris Pro
Steiner T6Xi
Tract Toric ELR

In my club a lot of people switch gear because they are like sheep and think they will shoot better. Just saying

I am sure you know but the black edition Gen3 are $2400 from euro.

Mixed reports about G3s? Weird.

I’d get a G3, LRPS3, or Theos.

 

[MC56]

Personally, I love my xrs3, and I don't think you can beat it if you can find one around the 1k-1100 price point. If you want to spend more, the other suggested options are great as well.

Where you getting it for $1000-1100? Used?

they pop up in the PX all the time around 1100 or slightly less.

I also find the glass excellent. may be my eyes, but I'd absolutely take one over a gen2 razor.

That's what I was wondering and asked if used as they are not near that new even for LE/Mil.

I don't know what you've heard but I have 3 and they are excellent. Love mine and have not a single complaint or issue and glass is amazing.

Real weird.

I have 3 and don't belive I'm leaving anything on the table. Excellent scopes and even more amazing when I got my last 2 from the "scammer" under 2000 made the decision a no Brainer.

Gen2 isn't anywhere close to the Gen3's. I sold both my Gen2's after my 1st Gen3

lol I got mine from the scammer as well. Should have bought another before he dipped!

I legit received me 3rd 3 days after the first scammer post started in the thread. I always received mine. No clue what the deal was there. 1900 was a steal

I run all Gen II Razors on my match guns, a buddy came over with his gun that has a Gen III Razor and let me set the scope up to my eye. Put both of them on tripods side by side so I could go from one to the other. Looking at a tree that was 742 yards away I was blown away by how much better the Gen III was. My next scope is definitely going to be a Gen III .

Different league. That's why I sold my 3 Gen2's after buying my first Gen3 and now have 3 Gen3's... about to buy 2 more and sell both my Gen2 Cronus BTR's

 

[MikeMiller]

Gen 3 Vortex is a fantastic scope. Better than the Gen 2 on all accounts. Gen2 is better than any scope I used for snipe ops so it is all getting out of hand on needing better. lol.

Figured I would quote it for anyone who might miss it as it's the hard truth.

 

[4O6shootist]

I will say there are some big upgrades available over a gen2. Nothing wrong with a desire to get that. The gen3 razor is a good solid scope. The xrs3 you're speaking off is out classed by the cronus Btr at the same price point. Do you need 30+ magnification? Likely not. The S3 zeiss is a good option if you can work the bulky reticle. To upgrade from your razor, you're gonna have to spend more than what your current scope is worth, that means over 2000$ if buying new.

What specific limitation does your Gen II have that your next optic will remediate? Or, are you looking at just trying something different?

C’mon bruh. I’m sure all of us on SH are so high speed that our drag coefficient is like -2000 pascal/Kelvins.

We MUST see the hairs on the bumblebee anuses!!! Our practiscore is at stake here man!!!

Just want to try something new, I’ve been running the Rzr since 2019ish and figured I’d see what great improvements the market has seen.
