Afternoon everyone!
I currently have a Razor HD 5-20x50 ebr-2b and was using on a 308 Savage 10ba Stealth, primarily in benchrest shooting conditions.
I'm very much ready to upgrade my set-up to 6.5 Creedmoor; primarily due to New England FINALLY having a PRS shoot in recent times. Now, I do plan on taking precision long range courses, and well as primarily benchrest shooting, but would it be well worth it to upgrade my glass?
I've heard that the gen 2 is leaps and bounds over the gen 1, but would that make the gen 1 a bad scope when it comes to PRS or even distances over 800 yards?
Intent: Ultimately PRS, but primarily benchrest/long range courses.
Lighting: Primarily daytime/low light.
Range: Primarily 0-300 yards, monthly shoots out to 600 yards, quarterly shoots out to 1000 yards.
Preferences: Mil/Mil, FFP, zero-stop
In terms of the upgrade itself, I am looking at the well touted Razor gen 2, as well as the Sig Tango 6.
My questions really lie in:
1.) Clarity of glass at 800 yards+
2.) Clarity during low light situations
3.) Chromatic Aberration
4.) "Usefulness" of magnification (IE: Max magnification induces heavy shadowing/near useless FOV)
I would really request to keep the price game out of mind at this point. Not going into too much detail, but I'd be able to get a good deal from my dealer with the Sig over the Vortex, but the prices would be pretty decent nonetheless.
I understand the Vortex has an unbeatable warranty, but I do like how the Sig has the tech built in for anti-cant (even the BDX is interesting for consideration!)
