From Vortex this morning on instagram:

Can you spot the difference? Coming 2018.

I'm guessing it's going to be a 1-8x with some other minor tweaks.

Saw that too. I think the tube looks a bit larger, so maybe a 34mm? My hope is either a lighter 1-6 or a 1-8 that’s the same weight. They also posted a teaser of something that looks like a more direct competitor to the Aimpoint micros.

1-8 seems to be the trend these days. I may hold off on my Kahles purchase for a while though to see if this is a lighter 1-6 Razor

Lighter would definitely be a bonus. On a recent episode of P&S Steve Fisher hinted a new Night Force 1-? Being announced at SHOT 2018. Next year looks to be a good one for LPV optics.

Probably 34mm tube..in either 1-6 or 1-8..but the weight..I don’t think it’s gonna be lighter..

34mm 1-8x and heavy is my guess.

Vortex Razors are built like tanks and with that they are heavy.

For *me* the 1x6x magnification is the sweet spot for my 16 inch barreled 5.56 rifle and for the distance at which *I* will be using it most if not all of the time, 0-300 or 400 yds max. It seems that once scopes go to 8x in magnification, tube size goes up, which means it weight goes up, which means its FOV at *both* ends is usually less , OAL is also usually longer and the scopes eyebox usually becomes smaller and a little slower to use quickly at both the top and bottom end of the scopes magnification.

For a 308 the 1-8 is where it's at. You don't need anything more then a 1-6 on a 5.56 carbine just as Biggie said. If I was in the market for another LPV I would probably get the Kahles or another Mk6.

If NF came out with a 1-8 I think a lot of folks would jump to that ship on their SR25s. The CQBSS is fine in the H27D, but expensive. The Minox is also a good option for the 1-8.

I'm interested to see what happens this year at shot. Not holding my breath for a NF anything. It's been what.. 3 years now of them not bringing it out to the table. Unless the Vortex gets a pound lighter, I wouldn't buy another 1-6 of theirs.

Just some upgrades...same scope otherwise. NF does have a 1-8 coming out and it's supposed to be FFP at somewhat of a reasonable price point.
