You mean 20oz and 4oz?

Old Razor 1-6x weight is 25.2 oz minus 4 oz = 21.2 oz new Razor weight. In comparison the Kahles K16i is 16.9 oz or 4.3 oz lighter.

They are also coming out with two new Strike Eagle riflescopes. Also 2 MOA dot 7,000 hr (approx T1 sized) RDS

4-24x50mm and a 3-18x44mm both have the EBR-4 reticles, weight 25.6 oz and 23.9 oz

I think Vortex did well by shaving weight. But if it's actually only 4 Oz lighter bringing it to 21.2 oz, it's better, but not a "sell what you got and pick this one up" kinda deal. If it was a 1-8 with the same known quality features as the vortex LPVs have at the existing weight, that would be something to talk about. I just don't see anyone selling their current 1-6 and picking this up. I do own one of the 1-6 gen2s already, among many other 1-6/8 LPVs. The Kahles and MK6 can make it to 17oz and under and still be top of the class. It's a step in the right direction but still falls short for me. Just my opinion.

Compared to the Kahles K16i, the new Razor is 4.6 oz heavier. At 1x the FOV is 11.7' less. Has anyone compared the eyebox of the two, along with the NF 1-4x?

The only thing holding the razor back was it's weight. In the 20 to 21oz range it's a no brainer now. Best in class eyebox, eye relief, decent usable simple reticles, and amazing illumination.

Agreed. That should put it only three-four ounces heavier than the K16i, but still several hundred dollars cheaper.

This is not correct. The zero is not effected through mag ranges.

So it's JUST the calculations and hold overs? If I want to hold left 3 MOA for wind, but I'm at 4x power (Scope was zeroed at 8x), then I actually have to hold at the 6MOA mark, right?

From TOS.

"The lightweight 1-6 will be 21.5 oz, as compared to 25.2 on the old one. The reticle choices will be the same and the price should remain the same. -VortexSam"

4oz doesn't sound like a lot, but I can feel the difference between the 25.2oz Razor vs the 20oz Vudu when shouldering the rifle in the bedroom. But out in actual shooting, the difference kind of fades.

If I didn't already have the Razor I'd be excited for this change, but as others have said I won't be going through the trouble of ditching my old one for this one.
