Rifle Scopes The New Vortex Razor 2019

[Willie16wild]

My gun shop told me that Vortex is coming out with a few new reticles. The scope there going in is the Vortex Gen ii Razor HD. I am not sure to believe this or not. I loved my gen ii razor when i had it. The only thing i didnt like about it was open center crosshairs.

The new reticles are supposably the H-59 and tremor 3. I think he said tremor 3. If not the 3 it will be the tremor 2.

If this is true i am buying the h-59 one right away.

I wanted to hear everyone elses insights on this to see if any of you guys herd this? I hope its all true.

 

[Basher]

Neither light my fire. The EBR-7B or an evolution thereof in a Gen2 Razor would be nice, though.

 

[Thunderhorse]

So new reticles for the Gen 2, or a Gen 3 with new reticles? I am a bit skeptical of a Horus reticle in a Vortex.

My gen 1 Razor seems so obsolete now lol

 

[Dburns]

Would love to see a Tremor 3 in the gen2 loved mine but sold it because I love .2 mil reticles

 

[gamewarden]

Horus reticles have been in Razors before, they just weren't available to the public. The Gen 2 could use an update.

Agreed and I didn’t know that

 

[Kopfjager1]

I think there have enough requests to put the EBR-7B in the Razor, and with the introduction of the Razor G2 Echo, I assume and hope that theyll do 4.5-27x56 G2 Echo with EBR-7B.

I can't believe they would do a Horus with all their reticle choices. I also highly doubt they are are going to bring the Tremor 2 over the Tremor 3, almost nobody is doing the T2 now.

I think at this point Vortex is really needs to come out with a new Razor model, and the AMG does not count in my book. It is still a solid scope but there have been so many other innovations by other manufacturers that they are lagging behind. I am not a Vortex fanboy and currently do not own any product but just based off time there have been new technology and models by other companies.

 

[Thunderhorse]

Didn't the gen 2 just come out like 2 years ago?

 

[PTPATAW]

EBR-7B would be a better option. But if there’s a demand for Horus, then please the customers.

Gen2 realeased in 2014

I agree with this

 

[patriot07]

Vortex would be smart to release their Razor G2 with an MR4/SKMR3/Mil-C with tree type reticle. I didn't personally like the EBR-7B - way too cluttered/busy around the target.

That being said, I doubt there are that many ppl who are considering a Razor and don't buy it because of the reticle. So maybe more of a personal thing for me than a great business decision for Vortex.

 

[lte82]

Considering the Razor 2 was the most used scope at the PRS finale this year, not to mention in years prior, the reticle choices are not exactly holding it back. I also think tree reticles are very overrated for PRS, as 99% of the people dial for just about every stage. But then again, all those lines and dots seem to sell scopes.

 

[308pirate]

Wouldn't the money spent chasing the latest and greatest scope be better spent shooting in the wind and from odd positions?

Isn't that how more points are lost in PRS style shooting?

 

[J-Fonz]

Are they going to put it on a diet?

Practice? Pshh. Let's keep trying to buy points LOL.

It's true and just more options for people to get into this excellent optic. Not a bad thing as some may think. Still have the original options as well and the new 7B so having more options is a good thing.

I recall seeing a comment from you elsewhere hinting at this, Rob. Nice to see it confirmed!

Maybe at the final this year.

I did read the new article on Precision rifle blog about what the pros use for scope. Nightforce won this year with the 7-35 scope and then the vortex gen ii 4.5-27x56 won second and the the Kahles with 5-25 scope.

I heard the 7-35 glass is suppose to be far superior to NF 5-25 I wish I owned one so I could compare it to the Kahles 525i

 

[JLP.Payette]

Are they going to put it on a diet?

I hope they make it heavier. I like the extra weight.

 

[TheMammoth]

4-27 gen 2 inbound on the equipment exchange for crazy low prices ?

 

[TheMammoth]

I wonder if there will be a markup for the Horus as there are with other brands. One would think so.

 

[Rob01]

I am sure there will be as that is from Horus.

 

[5RWill]

Rob will there be a new lighter razor at this years shot? Or any new razor be it Gen II or AMG?

 

[PTPATAW]

It’s not really marking up if Horus charges a fee. In this case, the customer pays the fee.

 

[Rob01]

Not sure. Looking forward to checking out the SHOT booth in a few weeks.

You’re right and my choice of words was wrong.

 

[Willie16wild]

My gun shop said they will be selling them for 2500$ still.

 

[lte82]

My gun shop said they will be selling them for 2500$ still.

So are they going to drop the price on the older reticles?

 

[Dburns]

Maybe later on I don’t see them dropping the price On the Ebr2c if they are still flying off the shelves People swear by that reticle So we’ll see

 

[Dthomas3523]

My gun shop said they will be selling them for 2500$ still.

That’s the easy way to make people not feel the sting of the Horus license fee.

Gen 2 are 2k and under street price now. So selling at $2500 makes up for the fee and then some.

Very true

 

[The_Mechanic]

I still wont be interested unless they get rid of that damn ugly champagne color. I want basic black on my Barrett Brown rifle.

 

[DOA]

I can't see ever getting rid of mine. Does everything I need it to, and since its a range gun, the weight doesn't bother me. If anything it tames the recoil of my .308

 

[withoutwarning]

By all means if thats what people want but if you ask me vortex’s grid reticles are far better than anything Horus has ever come up with.
Bring out E versions of all their G2 scopes like the 1-6 and put them on a diet.

 

[cleric]

If they released a 4-16 or 3-18 amg I would be soooooooooo happy

I always thought the burnt bronze and the Barrett brown look awesome with a gen2 just my Preference

Not if you are a rifle fashionista! LOL

FYI, new reticle is online.

Nice, they finally moved the numbers to the outside of the tree!

The new vortex grid reticle showing up here is going to be the draw, that’s whats going to make people sell their old ones. People love .2 subtensions.

 

[Dthomas3523]

Obviously Horus will have a premium.

Once the dust and initial buying storm clears, if this new reticle is priced in line with current ebr2c prices, I’ll probably grab one. If it’s around $2500, I’d just stick with kahles.

I’m also assuming since they released these reticles before shot, they have some sort of optic announcement saved for the show.

 

[TheMammoth]

Hopefully AMG line expansion?

 

[Dburns]

Awesome

 

[koshkin]

I do not have any interest in Horus reticles, but EBR-7C in the Gen 2 is definitely welcome news.
