Does anyone here think vortex would ever make a 3-18 version of the AMG, or possibly a light weight version of the razor 3-18?
Rifle Scopes Vortex AMG 3-18?

I have been in discussion about this with a friend who works at Vortex.
The issue I see is the current AMG has a 6-24 with a factor of 4 for the erector. Meaning if they continued with that trend you're more likely to see a 3-12 or a 4-16. Whereas the Razor HD lineup is factored by 6... 3-18 and 4.5-27.
He wouldn't give me a firm yes or no on the light weight AMG, but there will be some more models coming out in their LHT lineup.
Not quite the 18x top end you're looking for, but their effort at making a lower powered optic with quality glass for not a lot of money. Exposed elevation turrets and capped windage turrets. 19.1 ounces to boot... My biggest complaint is the reticle options at this point and that it is SFP. Although, with it being 15x on the top end I'm not overly concerned with the ability to mil at lower mag. With all of that being said, I have one on the way. I'll certainly let you know how it performs if you care.

I'd be interested on your thoughts. If this were in FFP I'd have it on a gun already.
Agreed to all that has been said. Lht should be FFP.
A lower end mag AMG would be the business.....

I’ve asked Sam before about this very topic, at the time they said there’s no plan to build them. Of course he could have been saying that to keep a lid on things or possibly is that they don’t really see the point of a 3-18 AMG.
Keeping with a 4x erector I’d be happy to see a 4-16 amg
A 4-16 AMG would make an already versatile, lightweight optic even more versatile and lightweight. I’d be all in on one and Vortex would be smart to offer it. I own two 6-24 AMG’s and it’s hard to like anything else.
I agree the LHT being SFP is a turn off, and I’m personally not a fan of capped turrets, even windage. I much prefer locking turrets. Personal preference really.
