This is an outstanding scope. Clear glass, compact compared to it competitors. Seems to be very rugged. There are many reviews by different publicatuons all are good. The second generation razor os a big step up from the gen one. Will make a nice addition to my 338 lapua.

I have been using Nightforce optics for years for ELR shooting. After a considerable amount of research into this amazing scope I decided to put this on top of one of my Barrett long range.338LM rifles. One of the best decisions I have ever made! I am 100% satisfied with this scope, and Vortex has the best customer service on the planet hands down. I have my own private 450 yard range on my property and I can maintain a 2in group using hand loaded Berger match grade bullets and Hodgen Retumbo powder. Adjustments on the scope are solid and extremely precise. At 1000 yards groups are holding at approximately 4in consistently. I have put this scope through the paces for over a year-and-a-half now and I could not be happier. When you're spending this kind of money on an optic you want something that's going to work and do the job you want it to do. The glass is crystal clear and better than any other glass I've looked through. This scope will get it done! Thanks Vortex, I am a customer for life!

Super impressed with this optic and spent a decent amount of time behind one on the range. My buddy has one with EBR7 reticle and it is a great piece of glass.But I have always had a preference for Horus reticles so when I saw Vortex announce they were available, there were no excuses left.Love having the same reticle in my long range setups, including a spotting scope.Only complaint about this optic is the weight but thats an acceptable trade off considering this optic competes with others costing twice or even three times as much.Generous eyebox, crisp lockable turrets, locking illumination ring, and wonderful optical clarity. I also really love the bronze finish that they went with for this series. Different but looks great on every rifle i have seen it on.Sunshade and turret adjustment tools included. Only thing missing is a throw lever which is definitely worth getting separately.Throw in the spectacular Vortex customer service and it's no wonder I see someone using one of these every time i go to the range.

I own Night Force ATACR and Kahles K525i, and Vortex Razor gen 2 scopes for medium long range shooting: out to 1,500 yards. I shoot 6.5 Creed moor, 308, and 300WM. All are excellent scopes. The Vortex Razor Gen 2, is slightly cheaper, but every bit as good. But the guarantee is the very best! It is a durable, rugged: the scope has very good light transmission and good adjustments that don't change with shot shock. For the money, the vortex is a better buy. Also, many competition shooters use this scope. Yep, that's about $8,500 dollars in scopes. Been shooting for many years. Most shooters will not do better with the very most expensive scope.

For this review of the Vortex Razor Gen ll I can’t compare it to any of the other high end well known and established scope manufacturers. I have only bought vortex for my rifles because of the build quality, features and tracking accuracy and consistency of returning to zero. Another reason is the well known guarantee from Vortex that is one of the best in the business if not the best. However I also own the Vortex Razor Gen lll 6-36×56 and I can compare the two. All of the specific technical information about these scopes have already been been provided by Vortex and you can look that up. What I can tell you is that the Vortex Razor Gen ll is a great quality scope , it’s a heavy scope and you can probably find a lighter option if saving weight is extremely important. If you’re shooting bench rest and the weight is no problem you have no worries. Currently I’m running this scope on the AR15 platform shooting 6mm ARC and have only put about 70 rounds down range. That’s not enough to give a more technical review but it was very easy to zero using the L-Tec Turret system. This system allows you to dial and set zero between MRAD or between MOA. This ease of setting zero is also the same with the Gen lll but the process is slightly simplified with the Gen lll but both scopes are very easy to set zero. The locking turrets are stiff to lift and set but audible clicks of the elevation turret and wind turret sounds the same and well defined. I’m not a scope snob but the glass is very clear to me and image quality has been bright with defined edges with a very acceptable field of view at max magnification. My set up with the scope is strictly punching paper and ringing steel and I’m satisfied with my purchase. I think if you want to save some money I would go with the Razor Gen ll over the Razor Gen lll and have equal quality with a slightly less feature set. I think that with the quality, features, price and guarantee the Gen ll punches well above its price.

First, this price range in mid to upper tier level and it does hurt, but you will not be disappointed.I shoot long range and had the opportunity to look through and compare a wide range of scopes before making my decision on glass.The comparisons were Kahles, Nightforce, S&B, Vortex, Leopold, Bushnell and Valdada.This was a hands on, scope mounted on firearm and dialing from 250-1000 yds comparison of glass quality, clarity, ergonomics and various reticles as well.For me, it came down to the Vortex and the Nightforce.What surprised me was the S&B. In a blind test, I'm not sure you could tell the difference between the Nightforce, Vortex or the S&B.It was that close in glass quality and clarity. The S&B's price took it out of contention with no discernible difference the glass clarity.Now it was down to the Vortex and NightforceWarranty was one issue. Vortex is lifetime unconditional for whoever owns the product. Their warranty is amazing. I have used it and in my case it has been above all expectations.Nightforce, is 5 years to original purchaser. I was really on the fence UNTIL I found out the following.Vortex offers a LEO/Military discount to current and FORMER LEO and military personnel.Nightforce offers this discount only to CURRENT LEO and Military personnel.I don't qualify for this discount, but Vortex extends this discount to the men and women who have served and have protected us honorably.Nightforce for all of its advertising about being used in the military, sees it fit not to honor the ones who have protected us by extending a discount to them.I looked at it as a bottom line issue. How many CURRENT LEO/military personnel can afford a Nightforce scope.Most of these individuals are working 2 jobs to make ends meet.With it being a virtual tossup as to witch scope to choose, the LEO/Military discount policies made it a very easy choice.
