As with all things firearms, it depends what you want.
Accupower 1-8 has uncapped turrets and 'meh' illumination.
Razor II has capped and booming illumination, with the Razor III promised to be similar.
I really like the glass in the Accupower lineup (had 2 1-4s, seen the 1-8s) but in the end illumination at 1x is very important to me so that limfac kills them for my use.
So I fondled the razor gen III quite a bit at shot, and let’s just say they knocked it out of the park. I think this will be THE lpvo of choice (although the Kahles 18i is amazing as well) On 1x next to a gen II I can’t tell a difference in edge to edge clarity, and the eye box was more forgiving than I expected all the way up to 8x. From 8-10x I noticed it was slightly less forgiving but still excellent. Dot was aimpoint bright as is the gen II. I can’t wait to get one of my own.

So,as best as you could tell indoors, did the optical clarity or resolution diminish much if any at 8 -10 X?
It looks like, for those people who need the extra capability when shooting out past, lets say 400+yds on a regular basis, I think this 21.5 oz, 1-10X LPV scope will be a clear winner and a good value at $1900.-$2000.

This guy did an insteresting comparison between 1-6x and 1-10x Razors demonstrating differences in the eye box.
^^^^nutz! Sounds like it is living up to the hype so far.
Well looks like I will have to get one for my 16” SR-15.
Ordered it....I'm not a pre-order kind of guy, so hopefully it is comperable or better than the NF ATACR. I was on the fence between the two. I am not a fan of the capped turrents though on either as I think these optics are both more DMR-ish leaning on the LPVO side in my mind when you're at 8 power and beyond. Too bad it isn't offered in black too, not a fan of burnt bronze on a black rifle. Might have to send the rifle to Joint Force Enterprises so the carpet matches the drapes. I'll give feedback in April. Fingers Crossed. Now I have to decide if I want to go with Scalarworks mount or a new style Badger Ordnance. Both are sweet and light. I'm hesitant on trusting the Scalarworks mounting system/torquing knobs, although I've heard no negative feeback considering the abysmal inch/lbs spec. I like the scope leveling feature though and the footprint. Wish the Badger had the same leveling feature.
