You won't be disappointed!
I own over 15 vortex optics but this is my first Razor HD. I was hesitant about spending the extra money for the HD version considering all my other Vortex Optics are top knotch and Crystal clear, but I'm glad I did. I got this for a 6.5 creedmoor build and all I can say is WOW! This is a beast, difference between day and night. This scope is in a class of it's own. Well built, like a tank. Easy to see and use turrets. Turrets lock down so no way of accidental moving. Looking through this scope you see a world of difference. This is by far the best scope on the market! You will not regret buying this scope!!

My go to competition scope.
I own 4 of the Gen 2 Razors and use them in National level Precision Rifle Series and NRL matches. Every single one has been rock solid with not a single quality issue or failure. I have seen scopes go down at rifle matches from about every other top end manufacturer, I have never seen a Gen 2 Razor fail the user at any of the events I have attended. One of our catch phrases of the top end shooters in recommending gear is "buy once cry once" well I have bought the Gen 2 four times and never cried once. I know I am getting the best product for my money with this optic.

Workhorse
A year ago I put this optic right next to a two others that cost nearly double what the Gen II does. Same objective, different brand. After 500 rounds down each rifle I came to the same conclusion I did after the first couple outings. The Gen II Razor is simply the workhorse optic in the long range precision rifle game. It simply gives up nothing against the competition. Actually it outranks the comparable optics as it is 1/2 the price with all the great features. This is not a cheap optic, but it is affordable in it's class. Optics come and go, at least one if not two pictured will be out of it in short as a winner has been picked. Hint: it's the first pictured.

Serious scope for the serious shooter!
While I love my generation one razors, for my extended long-range rifle there was no question on which scope I was going to go with. While I looked through the scope on other peoples Rifles it never ceases to amaze me how clear this glasses, how wide the field of view is that distance, and how easy and precise zero is the set up. If I have only one complaint it is the half mill down zero stop as I personally like to set my zero stop at one mill below zero. That aside it is an exceptional piece of glass and no wonder why it is the most popular on the precision rifle series firing line as well as on the line with national rifle league.

Clear, Crisp, and Tough
I bought my gen 2 4.5-27x56 about 3 years ago and have mounted it on many rifles from 6.5’s 338’s. It is built like a tank and always performs flawlessly. After years of use and abuse all of the adjustments and features continue to work as they did the day i mounted it. These scopes are top of the line and no corners were cut when they came out with this design. Thats why after 3 years it continues to be one of, if not the most sought after optics for top PRS shooters. I need to add that these scopes are definitely heavy but keep my rating at 5 stars because weight is not an issue for the shooting that i do. Great Job Vortex

"Want to Bet"
It all started 50 years ago when two boys would go out shooting in Mississippi. Both of us have not shot in a long time and last year we made a bet about me being able to hit a target at 1000 yards with a caliber no larger than a 223. Now at 62 I took the bet and went to a local gun store and purchased a Howa 1500, now I know the optics are very important so I began my search. After several weeks of reading about all top scopes I finally purchased a Razor Gen ll 4.5-27X56. With in two week I had landed all 5 shots on target. The bet was for his 4 passenger ATV!!! Thanks Vortex for an amazing product!!!!

Pure Joy
The quality of the glass as well as operation of this optic is hands down the best or second to the best (when compared to the AMG). The eye box is extremely user friendly. The turrets are solid and defined making dialing in shots precise and exact. The only two things I could nit pick about this optic is the color and the reticle. The open cross hairs is nice but the reticle on the AMG EBR7 with the floating cross hairs appears to be a much better option for precision since it clears up some of that clutter around the optimum target area. If there could be a black paint option and another reticle option as well, I am sure it would surpass the AMG for units sold and used! It is a bit pricey but pay once, cry once!
