Does anyone have any trigger time behind one of these now since they have been out for a few months? Curious to see what people think of the reticle, prior to dropping 1k plus for the optic. Couldn't find any new reviews with the search function.

I just got mine and I like it a lot. Its very similar to my Swarovski in reticle design except for a lack of wind marks. Its also very heavy at 25 ounches. But its got great glass, good turrents and its price point is very good for what you get.Originally Posted by McNulty

I realize the SWFA 1-6 isn't really in people's hands yet, but does anyone have any experience with both to compare the glass?

Just got mine delivered today and you were right, this thing is a tank. Great glass and the field of view is a lot large than I would have thought. I am gonna run it in a Frank Proctor class next month and will have a detailed review of how it runs.

Got my Vortex 1-6x HD GenII the other day and took it out yesterday to zero, and then again today to run some drills with it.
Some initial impressions....
It is a tank, but I could always beat someone to a pulp with it if need-be.
The field of view on both 1x & 6x is phenomenal.
The eye box is a little tight compared to my TR24G but still very good.
The illuminated dot is awesome and very useable in all lighting conditions.
Everything about the scope: turrets, clicks, machining, etc screams QUALITY.
With my Trijicon TR24G 1-4x during most drills shooting from kneeling at distances of 50-100yds I would dial the magnification down to about half (2-2.5x) because it seemed easier to get a stable sight picture with less magnification. With the Vortex 1-6x I kept in dialed up to 6x for everything within the intermediate range (50-100yds) without a problem.
A scope magnification lever is a must with this scope. The magnification adjustment is pretty stiff even with the lever. Without it quick magnification changes are near impossible. I got one of the plastic levers from 3Gun Stuff.
Yesterday, zerioing @ 100yds I was able to consistently shoot sub MOA goups with new scope on the 16" Noveske SS Middy pictured with my duty ammo (64gr Speer Gold Dot .223).
I thought the search for a new optic to replace my trusty TR24G that I have been running for nearly 4 years now would be very difficult but I think this Vortex 1-6x is gonna work out just fine
Anyway, more to come as I get more range time with it over the next few months prepping for the 2013 NPRC (National Patrol Rifle Competition)....

I'm yet to hear a negative review about this optic. The only thing that has been holding back from buying is the reticle as it currently is, hopefully their will be a greater selection available in the not to distant future. I whittled it down to either this or the MK6 w/ the TMR but I'm leaning towards the MK6 only because the greater utility of the reticle.

Optically, the Razor HD Gen II 1-6x24 delivers the highest level of clarity, resolution, color accuracy, light transmission and edge to edge sharpness obtainable.
