Fair enough. For the record I did not expect to glean any factual info about upcoming models by posting this thread, lol. It’s pretty amazing what they’ve done with this lpvo and can’t wait to see what other G3’s they might come up with

Rifle Scopes Razor HD Gen 3 - what’s next?

While buying chassis to pacifically ad wight to their already 15lb rifle.That would be great but then you would have people complaining how heavy it is compared to other 1-8/10 scopes.
I find it amusing the first thing on your list is Black lol. And the last thing.
I would like to see the 4.5-27 expanded to 8x and go 4-32x
^^^THIS give me a mil c style reticle like a EBR-1C or whatever you want to call it. All this tree bullshit has gotta go. I think I’m the last 100 stages I’ve shot I wish I had a tee reticle maybe twice for a stage. All the tree does is get in the way of spotting a miss. To
Each their own and I understand vortex is a business and does what the masses want but a guy can wish.
as far as a gen 3 goes give me better glass on Schmidt level, something like a 5-30 or 7-35 without tunneling and charge me an extra 800 for it and I’ll gladly pay. I don’t think weight is much of an issue at all if you use this scope as it was intended and designed for. Glass in my opinion is the weak spot on the gen 2. It’s not bad by any means but it’s what holds it back from competing with the big dogs at the 3k level. Keep the spacing wide on the current 10 mil turrets. Locking turrets I don’t care about really and even dislike on elevation but locking Windage would be nice.
Everyone is wishing for these massive erector ranges. I’d rather have a 5x erector 7-35 and have better depth of field and parallax forgiveness. Also the eyebox of the gen 2 is one of its best qualities for PRS in my opinion
Sure. I'll preface this by saying I've only looked through the Gen II a few times, and was always impressed by the color and clarity of the glass. I'll also admit my background is in geology, not material science or in high end optics/physics.
But what I'd like to see, is an incremental upgrade to the glass, similar to what they did with the PST Gen I to Gen II. Can I give you a qualitative value on the "improvement"? No, but I can tell a difference when I'm sitting behind them.
If the quality and price point can remain the same that would be great. If Vortex increases the price then they should keep pumping out the Gen 2 models as well. Vortex has no competition there and I feel like it is a sweet spot in the market. Apparently Vortex does too.
I agree, but think I might have been too vague on the "optical upgrade" I'd wish to see. I'm not necessarily wanting it to bump the line into the next tier of glass (TT, etc), but something smaller in line with just general process improvements, etc that would keep price similar or $100 more.
Similar to my PST example. I'd have to check, but I don't think release MSRP was that much different between the two. Even if there was, with the other improvements made to the scope, it would be hard to say the improved glass played too heavily on that. If I'm wrong there someone please correct me.
I second this. I’m not a fan of huge erector ranges. They make sense on a 1x scope but anything else I usually end up feeling like there are better tools for the job and that the large erector range ends up causing other problems.
7-35 with great eye box and plenty of elevation is the ticket. Weight be damned.
I am also just curious if anyone has an idea or hear rumors of when the next generation will be released?
