Larry's Review of Vortex Razor HD Gen II-E 1-6x24mm 30mm Tube Second Focal Plane LPVO Rifle Scope
Great optic. I got in under the price wire by buying the 2nd gen. This review is for 2nd gen. First off, if you don't have one of these type optics you need to buy one. TOTAL GAME CHANGER for ANY shooter. Don't waste your money on the cheaper models or makers. You will only want to upgrade to the best, or close to it after you shoot anything less in this type.
Fit and function is good. I needed at least a 1.59 Vortex height mount. Some said 1.7 in the hard to find expensive range is best height but I had no issues with 1.59. The lower mounts like 1.5 flat or 1.4...didn't work. Too low.
Glass is clear all the way out, but the reticle lines are a bit large for making up precise loads if you reload. Covers up the dot too much to work up loads precisely with a ladder test.
My scope only came with a rear cover, but I don't know if I got shorted because my box was open. No biggie.
All other functions of the scope are a dream. Clicks, zero, etc...
Hard to say "BUY ONE" because the gen 3 is $2500 with tax. That one must shoot itself because I'm still trying grasp why a 6 or 10 power scope is the same or more than a Vortex 24 power LR type model. Probably because once again the pros have taken a fun thing like 3 gun and FTR and turned it into a sport where you cant even be competitive unless you have a million dollars or sponsors which drives the demand and price.
