Specifications
Magnification: 5-20x Objective Lens Diameter: 50mm Eye Relief: 3.9in Field of View: 13.6-5.2 feet@100 yards Tube Size: 35mm Turret Style: RZR Zero Stop Adjustment Graduation: 0.1mrad Maximum Elevation Adjustment: 36mrad (125MOA) Maximum Windage Adjustment: 36mrad (125MOA) Parallax Setting: 40 to Infinity yards Length: 15.8 inches Weight: 35.2 ounces Optical Features APO Objective Lens System Corrects color across the entire visual color spectrum—virtually eliminating chromatic aberration across the entire field of view. Optically Indexed Lenses Delivers optimum image sharpness and brightness with true reticle use for full ranging and holdover from edge to edge because of computer-controlled alignment during construction. XD Lens Elements Extra-low dispersion (XD) glass enhances resolution, color, and contrast. XR Lens Coatings Vortex XR proprietary anti-reflection lens coatings increase light transmission with multiple coatings on all air-to-glass surfaces. Fully Multi-Coated Lenses Increase light transmission with multiple anti-reflective coatings on all air-to-glass surfaces. Construction Features 35mm Tube Provides more internal room to accommodate a greater range of windage and elevation adjustment to accurately dial longer-range shots. One-Piece Tube Maximizes alignment for improved accuracy and optimum visual performance as well as strength and waterproofness. Aircraft-Grade Aluminum Construction from a solid block of 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum delivers increased strength and rigidity. Waterproof O-ring seals prevent moisture, dust, and debris from getting inside the tube for reliable performance in all environments. Fogproof Filled with argon gas to inhibit internal fogging over a wide range of temperatures. Shockproof Lenses are locked in place, fore and aft, with machined locking rings to remain in perfect alignment and resist impact. Hard Anodized Finish Type-3 hard-coat anodization is durable; the low-glare matte surface of Stealth Shadow Black helps camouflage the shooter’s position. ArmorTek Ultra-hard, scratch-resistant coating repels oils and corrosive salts on outer glass surfaces. Internal Mechanism Design Features RZR Zero Stop Rapid Zero Recovery (RZR) feature stops the turret from dialing below sight in range using rugged steel components. Internal mechanisms stay free of sand, dirt, dust, moisture and other foreign materials—even when setting the zero-stop position. Patent pending. RZR Zero Stop Turrets Spin quickly and stop at the zero setting without counting clicks. Subtension marks match the reticle making range calculation and shooting adjustments fast and accurate. First Focal Plane Reticle Scale of reticle remains in proportion to the zoomed image. Constant subtensions allow accurate holdover and ranging at all magnifications—no shift in point of impact during zoom. Friction Reduction System Provides superior durability, repeatability and accuracy for the life of the product. Prevents galling or deformation of the erector screw contact point because the heat-treated, hardened-steel pad floats on the end of the turret screw and interfaces with a hardened steel ring on the erector tube for steel-on-steel contact. Patent pending. Turret Screws Provides low-friction, wear-resistant performance: precision-machined from a silicon-brass alloy and treated with an advanced dry-film lubricant. Turret screw threads are ultra-precision machined to sub-2 micron tolerances (less than 78-millionths of an inch). Ultra-smooth operation and adjustments. Erector Tube System Precision-machined from premium brass alloy with anti-galling properties for great strength and durability. The erector spring of chromium vanadium withstands compression, has high fatigue resistance, and is tumble-polished to a mirror finish for micro-precise elevation and windage adjustments. Single Spring Construction Fully constrains the optical system for predictable, improved accuracy throughout the range of elevation adjustment. Glass-etched Reticle Protected between two layers of glass (not made from wire) for optimum durability and reliability. Illuminated Reticle Electronic illumination aids in low light visibility of reticle. Battery included. Illumination Control Can be turned on or off with a single click between each intensity level—allowing access to a preferred illumination setting without having to progress through each intensity level. Positioned at 45 degrees off the left side of the eyepiece for easy adjustment without blocking view of the turret setting or magnification. Convenience Features MagView Bar Combines a f |

That will probably make the Nightforce salespeople a little nervous.
Looks like a great scope.

That is an interesting looking scope. The knobs are quite different from what I saw on the prototypes.
I suppose I'll go ahead and start bugging the Vortex people about sending me one for T&E... ILya

Here's a picture that we took that really shows the color of the scope.
The rings look really nice too.

That is a gorgeous picture.
So far, how would you say the optical quality compares to other certain scopes that cost over a grand?
I know the Vortex guys were determined to best Nightforce, but they were on a mission to make them even better still.

Vortex succeeded in their mission. It's easy to top a product that already exists because all of its stats and abilities are known, all you have to do is out spec them and offer more features. It really helps if you do it in the same factory that Night Force uses, too.
The hard part is gaining market share and brand loyalty. Night Force is well established in these regards, but so was Leupold 10 years ago.

I think Leupold dropped the ball with their tactical scopes 10 years ago. That gave Nightforce a chance. Nightforce, so far, is not showing any signs of really dropping the ball. It will be interesting to see how they respond to the Razor (and it will be interesting to see how the Razor competes against Nightforce). ILya

Saw the article, swung by SWFA this afternoon and that cart in the pic now has 1 less Vortex Razor on it :) HOpe I didn't cut in line! Picked up the box and though it was made of cast iron. Image at 20x is killer crisp. Controls are nothing less than mouth drooling wonderful and well thought out.
Gotta run, have it bolted to a rifle and going out in the pasture to shoot some critters this evening.

Does their FOV specs seem correct or does it offer a wider amount? Would be the only negative to be found for some one just looking at the numbers.

To me it seems more like USO territory and not NF territory.
