Maybe its just me or my examples then. It takes me three times the ammo to zero either my Razor or AMG compared to pretty much any other scope. Either way. My only complaint. Best scope I’ve used.

Rifle Scopes Vortex Razor HD Gen ii. Best in its price range?
- Thread starter Chris777

Currently, my Gen II Razor is mounted to a 300WM. From bore sighting, it took a total of 5 shots to zero and confirm. If I measure 1.45 mil in the reticle, I turn the internal adjustment 1.45 mil, I get 1.45 mil of movement. Every time. The internal markings are not a suggestion, rather a calibrated scale that works very well. I’ve had this Razor on 3 other rifles and 5 shots is the absolute most it’s ever taken to get a perfect zero with good ammunition.
I am puzzled by this reported problem. I have never had a problem
I do agree that I'd get the 4.5-27 unless you really need the 3-4.5x range. It's not like the lower mag version saves you much weight or cost. And the difference between 18x and 24x-27x to shoot groups or look at long range targets is worth the $ to me, easily.

Short answer, is yes. The Razor HD Gen II is pretty much going to be the best option in that price range. Glass, adjustment, durability and warranty at that price makes for a pretty appealing package if you can deal with the weight.
I’ve run the gambit from Steiner to Kahles to Nightforce and Minox.
Nothing comes close in terms of value for the performance you get in return.

Same. I find it pretty well balanced actually but that's probably the most common complaint I hear about them.
In terms of bang for the buck in this price range right now, I think it is between Razor Gen2 and Delta Stryker.
The 3-18x50 makes sense if you need 3x, if you do not go for the larger one.

I must have terrible eyesight: MOA accuracy at 1k+ yards with 18x would be pretty hard for me. Get the 27x unless you REALLY need the FOV on the low end.
Talk with Scott at Liberty Optics and you'll be amazed how affordably you can get into a G2 Razor. Helps make the decision a little easier -- at least it did for me. in a bench or PRS or varmint rifle the weight becomes a feature, not a bug.

Honestly looking through both of them, I think the eyebox is a little more forgiving in the Razor vs. the AMG. So if you can handle a little weight the Razor just fits me better. But like the other guy said its all personal preference. I found myself shooting with the AMG and found it to be a little hard after my shot to keep perfectly aligned with the scope while shooting off a barricade which other scopes like the razor worked a little bit better for PRS shooting in my opinion.
Looking online trying to find this 150 dollar difference between the two models some of you are talking about.
The difference is easily seen on paper as well as in hand. Different magnification range and 56mm objective.
Doing a search, the cost difference between the 3-18 vs the 4.5-27 is $300.00 rather than $150.00.
Thank you for clarifying. I believe someone commented earlier in this thread that I could get the higher magnification model for 150 more. When I went shopping I found that was not the case.
I second the suggestion of contacting Scott @LibertyOptics . I'm pretty sure he's closer to the $150 split than the $300. I bought my 3-18 and 4.5-27 from him. Great Vortex dealer.
As an example. I personally prefer mils, but that's a solid deal.

If you are thinking of $1500 for a 3-18, there are several 4.5-27 Gen 2 in the exchange right now, most priced at $1600 or less.
