Vortex Razor Gen 2 1-6x

[VaeVictis]

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?

Well I have a SWFA 1-6 so if you can get Vortex to send me a Razor for testing I'd be more than happy to give you a comparrison review . I can at least tell you that the SWFA has some impressive glass.

@nickdrak, hows the bullet drop with a 100 zero?

Only got to test it out to 225yds yesterday, but it seemed right on. Im going to go out this week or next (depending on the weather) to try it out to 600yds.

The LRBC online ballistic calculator on the Vortex website is pretty damn cool: http://www.vortexoptics.com/content/lrbc_tutorials

With my duty round (.223 64gr Speer Gold Dot) my BDC is:
183yds

274yds

345yds

415yds

For my needs (0-300yd LE Patrol/Duty Rifle) this reticle is about perfect. If this was going on more of a precision rifle like a .308 AR or something that would be utilized primarily in a 300-800yd role I would definitely prefer the Vortex MOA reticle or their MRAD reticle.

Does that NSR rail get very hot?

Can you get the vortex razor gen2 1-6 in black??

Does that NSR rail get very hot?

If doing multiple mag dumps or if left out in the sun, yes. Other than that heat has not been an issue for me.

What kind of throw lever do you have on the magnification selector?

@nickdrak, can you give an indication as to how much tighter the eye box is of the Vortex compared to the TR24G. I have the TR24G on one of my AR's and am looking for a suitable addition for my 18"IPSC upper. Thx!!

Nick, are you keeping your TR24 going forward?

Nick, are you keeping your TR24 going forward?

Negative. Gotta sell it to pay for the Vortex
