Ed805's Review of Vortex Razor HD Gen III 1-10x24mm Rifle Scope, 34mm Tube, First Focal Plane (FFP)
Let just start off that I first owned a Vortex Viper, Jumped to a Vortex Razor Gen 2 1-6 JM-1 edition. One of the best LPVO I have ever owned and worth every penny. Don’t mind the color as well. It’s Vortex Razor unique color that tell anybody that knows optics this is Vortex elite model. So the color has grown on me. Very durable coating and glass clarity is superb. Best of all Vortex has a lifetime warranty on their optics. Once I found out they came out with a Razor Gen 3 1-10X24 version. I knew I had to buy it once it wasn’t backorder and pay the $2k price tag. Not to mention this time Vortex decided to throw in the throw lever and a sun shade also. Gen 2 Razor you had to buy the throw lever. After several months of waiting I was able to buy it and got the MRAD reticle version. Must say also this Gen 3 model is a bit bigger radius scope from the Gen 2 Razor model. But lucky me I was able to still keep and use my scope mount from the Gen 2 model. All I had to do is buy the bigger scope rings that hold the Gen 3 model scope. So no need to buy a whole no scope mount. Once I leveled it and zero it in to my rifle I couldn’t be any more happier. Instead of 1-6 magnification. Now I have 1-10 magnification. Also now it’s FFP instead of SFP. So it stays zero at any magnification. Red dot is still as bright as the Gen 2 model. Notice the magnification ring adjustment on Gen 3 is more forgiving now than the Gen 2 version. Way less force to move the magnification ring back and forth. The Trybe magnifier adaptor I bought separate. A couple of weeks later. Mounted to the Razor and now I have a 2-10 magnification. Unscrew the Trybe adaptor and back to 1-10 magnification. Must say though that anybody that has a Razor knows this is one heavy LPVO but it’s built like a tank. With the Trybe adaptor it adds even more extra weight to your rifle. Must also mention that at X1 power magnification with no red dot it’s a bit hard to see the center reticle. But with red dot on it’s very easy to pin point your target. Over all this Vortex Razor Gen 3 1-10X24 LPVO is worth every penny. Vortex hit this out of the ball park with this new Razor model.
Pros:
- 1-10 magnification, throw lever included now with sun shad also
Cons:
- X1 magnification a bit hard to see without red dot on, might be a bit heavy on rifle for some people
Best Used for:
- Target practice, hunting, competition,
Would Recommend:
Yes
