Excellent scope for the money - Vortex Razor HD 5-20x50mm 35mm Tube First Focal Plane Rifle Scope

After a lot of research and talking to some fellow shooters, I decided to purchase the Razor HD 5-20x50 over the others I was considering. It fit the budget more than some of the other higher price point scopes. It also helped that Optics Planet had a limited time applicable discount on this scope where all other sites and suppliers were selling at MSRP. The unit arrived well protected and originally boxed with all the accessories stated it should have(Sunshade, bubble level, wrenches, instructions). I purchased the Vortex 35mm rings (also from Optics Planet)to mount it. The fit and finish of the scope and rings was excellent. The scope was laser bore sighted and taken to the range for 100 yard zero. The scope adjustments (clicks) are crisp and audible so you know what you are dialing without direct observation. The lenses are crystal clear and the reticle is very clearly etched friendly to the eye. The illumination settings are a little dim until you get up in the settings when its daylight if you use illumination. At dusk they work well. There is plenty of adjustment even with a 20 MOA base installed. The zero set turrets are easy to use and the instructions from Vortex are clearly written and have pictures. I hesitate to comment on anything farther than 100yards, because at this point I haven't had a chance to stretch it out yet. However just visually looking at distance through the scope I do not foresee this being an issue. I did not see the a lot of haze or distortion downrange like I have seen in other FFP scopes, so that was a plus. Overall it is a excellent scope for the price point and Vortex's warranty can't be beat. Shipping from Optics Planet was fast and shipping updates were easy to track down.
