Just got notice Tenebraex has a kit for the G3 - 56KIT-000001
Scope Cover Kit (Ocular & Objective) for the Vortex Razor HD Gen III 6-36x56 (56KIT-000001)
This Scope Cover Kit (Ocular & Objective) is designed to fit the Vortex line of Razor HD Gen III 6-36x56 optics.armament.com
I asked Eurooptic the same thing and got the same answer. I even got in touch with Vortex about time estimates. They said they can’t speak to particular venders but if someone orders directly from Vortex they are saying 4-6 months for delivery.

Same here. I got a refund and picked one up off the forum. They also gave me a new 30% coupon. Don't let a cert expire bc your waiting call euro optic they will help u out.
There is no rule against any scope on any rifle, but the question of what is the goal remains. I have both optics you mention and the G3 is far superior optically but at the expense of being twice the weight of the 4.5-22. I would not worry about putting the 4.5-22 on a gasser, see post #344 here:

Rifle Scopes - Vortex LHT 4.5-22x50
Good to hear I actually run a March FX 4.5-28 on my 30 Nos, it's an awesome scope but I cant afford another. Which reticle? ILya
"Claims" meaning people actually having to send their units back, or "claims" that they heard of this happening? You sell quite a few G3's I'd imagine so curious if you've heard more than others?
I have both those optics and I wouldn't put the Gen 3 on an AR10 that I had gone to the trouble of keeping light. As Glassaholic said, the glass is better on the Gen 3 and the turrets are vastly better but it's also twice the weight. I've got more time/rounds on the Gen 3 but I've been using the LHT quite a bit recently and really do like it. I think it would be a good fit on a gas gun.
Thanks for the detail and now I understand what you mean by "claims".
Yeah, the LHT or the NX8 would both be a good fit (I've had a 2.5-20 NX8 previously and quite liked it). Save some weight with the LHT or get nicer turrets with the NX8.
If you need the wider FOV of the NX8 then it's a no brainer, I would say the NX8 has a slight edge optically over my LHT throughout the range... but hard to pass up how light the LHT is. One other issue is if you want zero stop on LHT then you're limited to 11.5 mrad of travel which may be fine for hunters but not so much if you want to go far...
I didn't hang onto my NX8 long enough after I got the LHT so never really compared the glass. I always did like the glass on the NX8 though. 2.5-20 is a better mag range for a gas gun than 4.5-22, imo so the LHT really benefits from an offset red dot which could kinda negate the weight savings. I haven't found the zero stop to be an issue but the rifle it's on has barrels/calibers that can go out decently far with 11.5 mils (20" .308, 24" 6.5 Creed, 26" 7SAUM).
The first version I purchased was right after release and it was a mess optically, second one was from last year I think and was almost like a different scope. 4-32 is a longer design and is going to be a bit more forgiving than the ultra short design on the 2.5-20.
They come back much much better. I got mine back about a month ago. It's daylight and dark. Only thing I wish I had had them free up the parallax some it's a little stiff. The lock is nice and snappy and there is zero mush now.
You and 80% of owners out thereIf it could just come back black
Yeah, I bought one from a member on here and it was pretty much like that. But Vortex had it there and back in 5 days for the upgrade and the turrets are now on par with my Razor G2.
Believe it's due to the poor or inconsistent locking mechanics of the gen3 6-36
