Razor HD Gen II 3-18x50 Riflescope

[86alaskan]

likewise, my light carbon barreled 300WM has a VX-6 on it for that very reason, lot's of glass power and little weight. I think my 3-18 is like 18oz or something, that's half the weight.

 

[Rhust]

Really second guessing myself.

Didn't think a lot about the weight when I made the purchase, just wanted a really good scope with great glass.

You will have to decide whether to mount it and shoot it, then it will be a used scope if you try to sell it.
Or sell it straight off and you said that you got a good deal on it but now you can sell it as a new scope and maybe recuperate all your money back.
Option #3 is mount it, shoot it and keep it but it will always be heavy.

It's a tough one, because it's a very nice scope, it just weighs half of what a lightweight rifle does.

 

[Rhust]

Yep, really torn on this one. Not sure what I'm going to do yet.

 

[RMorris]

When in doubt, get another rifle that matches the capabilities of the scope!
A heavy .223 or 6 br or .308 perhaps.
Then put an NSX or SHV on the above.
I'd mount it up until funds allowed for the above plan...
I have too many guns.

I have decided to get a gun (later on) to match this scope. Seekins is now making a tactical bolt. I will wait until they make that in a few more calibers. Maybe the 300 PRC. I am going to put a Nightforce ATACR 4-16x50mm F1 ZeroStop .250 MOA DigIllum PTL MOAR C617 on the gun I ordered. That should suit the pro Hunter better.

 

[gpo1956]

The ATACR is a fantastic scope for what you're wanting to do. I really like this one. Good luck.

 

[Rhust]

Just ordered the atacr today. Looking forward to getting it .

 

[Rhust]

I think this scope will be a much better fit for this rifle. The end of this year I will build a bench rifle to mount the vortex on.

 

[Gord0]

I think you'll be happy with it. I haven't ever heard someone say anything bad about an ATACR.

 

[Rhust]

Atacr came in today. Looks like a great scope. Can't wait to get the rifle and mount it up.

 

[Rhust]

Not a huge difference in weight, but noticable. I like the retical on the nightforce better, but I like the turret/zero stop on the vortex better.

 

[Rhust]

Anyone know what the ring on the eyepiece by the lens cap on the nightforce is for?
