Rifle Scopes Razor G3?

[Mark Watson]

Has anyone heard anything?

 

[hunter8793]

In on this one. Can you imagine if they make the image quality better, and drop like 10 ounces lol?

That would be sweet!

 

[Joeydias3]

I hope so. Maybe I’ll get a good deal on a gen 2. Lol

 

[lte82]

Why release a G3? They are still outselling pretty much every scope in it's class and more.

To stay ahead. Im sure conversations like that happened at Sears in the 90s when Amazon was still a nut is Bezos' ballsack

Last time I checked the G2s aren't fetching $2500 anymore with the house reticle.........just saying

I know, something is up the prices dropped a bit this year.

 

[cherokeefan03]

It wouldnt surprise me if they dropped some info at SHOT.

 

[Joeydias3]

Innovate or die

 

[rockin randy]

Yes bring on the G3 so my poor ass can afford a g2

That's why I'm curious... lol

Vortex, give us a 1-8 Razor that can compete with the NF ATACR!

 

[Rob01]

Have heard nothing about a Gen III.

 

[drwood96]

The high end rifle scopes is the only product that hasn’t updated in the past two years. Just saying. My bet would be a new viper lineup since they cleared them out.

New LRF (4000, Fury), UHD and DB II Binos, low end scopes (DB, PST II) and red dots.

they blew out the Viper gen2?

All but the Gen II. Still listed in their site but in clearance sale everywhere.

I'm not finding any with the EBR-7C on clearance. Interesting move if they replace the Gen II when they just changed the reticles on them half a year ago.

 

[koshkin]

I doubt they will replace the Gen 2 Razor any time soon, but I would not be surprised to see some new development in the Razor product line. Vortex has a policy where they do not announce anything until it is ready to ship, so we'll see what they decide to demo at SHOT.

I still waiting on a mid power range Razor AMG.... 3-18 would be ideal, but 4-16 is fine if they wanna stay the 4x mag range like the current one. Shorten it a little and shave a few ounces off the current 6-24 and they have a winner. Would make a damn near perfect crossover scope.

 

[Moose]

I would love a AMG-3-18 about 2 inches shorter.

 

[stello1001]

Didn't they have some fuzz going on a few months back that they had something new in the works but only teased us? They had an image of a rifle with a scope but the scope part all black as if only showing the silhouette of what would be a new optic. They had the date on there of when they would convey what it was. Never really saw anything new though. I'm guessing it was all just BS???

 

[padom]

2.5-10 or 1-8 would be fucking awesome!

 

[Moose]

Would love to see a new AMG with a red dot like there gen2-e 1x6.Daylight bright and quick to acquire a target.

 

[sleeplz]

LRF binos in the UHD would be king. Fingers crossed for shot show!

Yea, it ended up being the announcement for the EBR-7c being released in the PST gen2, and a new strike eagle or something. Huge buzzkill. Think they released the UHD bino's at that time too.

 

[TonyTheTiger]

I hope they do a 1-8 Razor. Just so I can get a 1-6 for pocket change, I don't actually have any interest in an 8x.

 

[Bandit31]

I’d definitely be in for a few 3-18x Razors if they dropped down to 30-35ounces or a lower power AMG. As much as I like the features of the razors, the weight is the only thing that’s kept me from keeping them or going back to Vortex.

Oh and an updated EBR 1C would be cool too in both scopes.

 

[ICU22250]

3-18 AMG would be nice...

 

[hunter8793]

Hopefully they will listen to us.

 

[hk dave]

They always have. Can’t imagine they’d stop now.

 

[michiman]

I would love to see even higher magnification to compete with the 7-35 nightforce

 

[Campt413]

I'd like to see them make a 30mm tube scope to compete with the nightforce nx8's.
The mid mag range amg would be real nice too.

 

[glock63]

Yes bring on the G3 so my poor ass can afford a g2

I'm still rocking a G1 on one of my rifles. Just can't afford to update them all every time theres a change.

 

[JC0352]

I don’t see how they could replace the Gen 2 anytime soon. What I could imagine is they discontinue the Gen 1 Razor and introduce some other new Razor scope.

That sounds very reasonable. If I were introducing a new Razor scope, I would be adding a model or two that add to the line-up rather than replace the current models. Honestly, I think the 4.5-27x56 Razor vaslty outsells the 3-18x50, so if I were Vortex, I would introduce something lighter to replace both the 3-18x50 Gen2 Razor and 5-20x50 Gen 1 Razor.

That would make for a very strong line-up.

Another thing to consider is that now that LOW has very brightly illuminated dot in FFP scopes (that they make for Nightforce), I am sure the technology will proliferate to their other OEM customers.

I’m one of those weirdos with the 3-18, haha!

I tested the 3-18x and liked it a lot, but I bet the larger Razor outsells it 10 to 1.

I think they need a redesign of the 3-18, it's essentially the exact same size and weight as the 4.5-27. Shave some weight and length off of it and release it as a Gen II E, kinda like they did with the 1-6. Would be awesome if they could get it to sub 35 ounces and to 13" or less.

That’d be cool. Kinda sounds like a Mark 5 competitor.
