I am most interested in the Revic Mil version or the EO Tech 5-25 Vudu but I am not completely sold on either one at this point. I like the looks of the ZCO 4-20 as well but I have a feeling the pricing will be more than I can handle.
Would you mind messaging me the approximate pricing on these when you get a moment. I understand it may not be set in stone at this point.
Thanks
If SWFA would replace the mil quad with a thinner version with a floating crosshair or floating center dot, I'd never upgrade to anything else. It's a fantastic value. The only hold-up for me is the reticle. And even with my issues with the reticle, it's the only scope I run that costs more than $100. Just can't bring myself to spend $2k+ when they all still have issues:So nobody's looking for a Super Sniper???![]()
After as rudely as I was treated by Sightron's customer service, I won't consider any of their products anytime soon.
I've been reading and comparing scopes non stop for the past 6 months...
My wants/needs:
Light weight, under or close to 30oz
5-25 or 6-24
Locking turrets
illuminated Christmas tree reticle
Zero stop
Very good glass
It'll be going on a light weight 300wm hunting rig/long range plinker.
I ended up placing an order for a Vortex Razor AMG EBR7B last week...no local shops carry these, so I'm buying sight unseen. A bit nervous, but I'm hoping it's everything I expect.

You'll be thrilled if you don't mind a busy horizontal line on the reticle. Everything else is spot on for your needs. It's a fantastic scope.I've been reading and comparing scopes non stop for the past 6 months...

I am in Canada so I don’t know how much it will cost in the US.Wonder what the street price will be. 900-1000?

I think that is the only thing holding me back from NF. Their reticles.Waiting on Nightforce to come out with a Mil-C reticle with a minimalist christmas tree added to it.
Vortex AMG in a mid power range, 3-18, 4-16, some where around there..... Please vortex PLEASE!!! My shorty hunting rifle needs it!
ETA: A razor gen II with EBR-7B reticle would be awesome as well.
I also like the Vortex AMG; they are both nice scopes. It is hard to choose.Basically this. I'd buy a Razor Gen2 yesterday if it came with the EBR-7B reticle. I may have to settle for the EBR-2C, but I'd much rather the EBR-7B in the Gen2 for my AIAT so it would match the AMG's reticle when I get one for my TL2. Heck, I may wind up with two AMGs, but who knows at this point. Both the AMG and the Razor Gen2 are excellent optics for the money, so either would work, but having the option of either reticle in both scopes would be killer. A 3-18x AMG would be AMAZING for sure, as I don't really need 24x on the top end for a multi-role rifle, and 6x may be a little higher than I want for hunting purposes.
TL;DR - Put the EBR-7B in ALL Razor models, and make an AMG in 3-18x.
I am still tossing around the idea of getting an Athlon Cronus BTR 4.5-29x56 scope, but I would really like to be able to hold one and feel how the turrets work before going through with the purchase.
Thanks for the feedback; I appreciate it.Turrets are a little mushy if you want to call it that. They are distinct though....never did I stop and say wait, was that a click? I can tell you, there will be no accidental turning of the elevation or windage knobs on the Cronus BTR. They are firm but not difficult to turn. The clicks line up perfectly with the hash marks on the knob. Knobs and tracking passed a 10 mil Tall Target Test with flying colors.
I don't really understand the "how do the clicks feel" mentality. They work for their intended purpose. If I don't know if I turned one....that would be a problem. Other than that......a click is a click.
I would love to buy a Minox Z series someday.....I tend to like the highest power in the upper 20's or 30's. Outside of BR scopes, options are limited.

This scope is at the top of my list as well; hopefully available in another month or so. MSPR of $1, 440; hopefully street value will be at least a couple hundred dollars less
