Looks good nice groups and rifles. I like those shorter turrets, most of the Vortex's I've seen had those tall turrets which I really don't care for. Congrats

The tan rifle is a trued 700 in 223 with a 20 inch #7 shilen barrel, mcmillan stock, Badger metal
The black rifle is a Bat tactical in 6x47 with a 24 inch #7 shilen barrel, mcmillan stock, PTG metal ( might chop the barrel down the road only has 50 shots down her)

Besides the pictures (which by the way are looking great) you are not giving us the claimed "review" as in the title. I just feel the post is more about the rifles "looks" and the grouping on the target. Tell us more about the scope....you know like in a review. I am sure not very much is known (based on actual field experience) about the scope's performance. I would love to hear more. Thanks.

Like the title states a quick review! I said it rocks. What can I saw that hasn't been said a million times out a scope. Until you get behind one for yourself all the reviews are bs. Half the guys here will say well you didn't check this or that. Im not even going to do any testing besides shoot these bad boys. Its an improvement over the old model and I can't be happy enough with my purchase. If someone has certain questions ill be happy to help if I can. Vortex knocked it out of the park!

Fair enough. Did you compared it with other high end optics side by side? Glass quality, mechanical adjustments, eye relief adjustment at higher magnification, etc.

I have some NF I can run side by side but Im telling you this glass if awesome. My only gripe is the clicks aren't as good as the old Razor and Im still a huge fan of NF clicks. But, I felt the eye box was fine and I had no issues with the eye relief at 27x. So far my local range is limited to 200 yards. Next month Ill be shooting 600. I was shooting a Zeiss Diavari that day as well (6-24x) and the Vortex was more crisp. This thing is a tank I can't wait to weigh my rifles for a goof. Not like Im running and gunning but they are heavy metal.
