One of the finest scopes ever built! - Vortex Razor HD Gen III 6-36x56mm 34mm Tube First Focal Plane Rifle Scope

I purchased this scope in preparation for taking a long-distance shooting course.

It’s intuitive to use, easy to zero, and the glass is perfect (I’m an amateur astronomer and volunteer at a local observatory: I know good glass!). The elevation/windage knobs are crisp-moving and have a satisfying detent for tracking movement. The illuminated reticle made low-light shooting much easier, and I had to use it during an after-sunset target engagement: no problems. While my scope was the only one in the class that utilized a MOA reticle, I was shooting just as accurately as those using Milrad — including 4 military students.

The proof was in the pudding, so to speak: of 9 the
students, I was the only one to hit the most distant and final target (1047 meters) on the first shot and hit the bullseye all 10 times, owing more to luck and having an excellent scope, ammunition, and rifle.

I love shooting to the capability of my rifle and scope, not the other way around; I really detest buying a lesser product and finding that it doesn’t meet my needs — requiring that another better product must be secured: paying for quality twice is worse that paying for it once.

I’ve since been to a second distance-shooting course and noted that about 1/3 of the students use Vortex scopes.

This scope is excellent in all respects.
