VortexOptics Razor HD Gen III First Focal Plane Riflescopes - Unlimited, Unconditional Warranty

I usually don’t criticize other reviews but truly I got this scope despite the bad reviews (on here and on YouTube) and I can tell you the bad reviews are based on a lack of knowledge or experience using scopes vs red dots. Firstly an LVPO is not a red dot and never will be so it’s senseless to compare. For an LVPO this has a very good eye box at 1X. I was pretty much as fast at acquiring targets as with my red dot (if there was a difference it was negligible). I barely notice any fisheye (something various YouTubers complained about) and when I did notice it it was only on very close objects and was only on the periphery of the image and didnt Bother me or effect my accuracy at all. At 10x yes the eyebox is tight but name a scope that’s not at 10x, they all are, that’s what I mean about experience, anyone who’s used long scopes before knows that, I actually thought this one was decent at 10x considering.All in all this scope is amazing, super fast at 1x and VERY Clear glass for longer range/more magnification. This scope is very expensive but it’s by far my favorite one I’ve owned to date

I have owned the razor 1-10x Before and kind of regretted selling it, so I got this one at a $700 discount, which is why the tape that tapes the box shut was already ripped, due to this probably being an open box item, but like others have complained about here I did not pay brand new price. $1699 shipped, a smoking deal that didn't last long. If I see one at this price again I'm going to be snagging another.Optic did not come wrapped in the plastic with the rubber band like vortex usually uses, but it is in pristine condition without one single scuff or piece of dust on it which tells me it might have been just a display item and hardly touched by human hands yet.Shipped in two days just like stated. If you know how to use an optic like this, this is an outstanding optic for the price. I'm not going to say anymore because there are hundreds of reviews out there on these, some good some bad, but if you know how to adjust the diopter on this properly for 1x and 10x, this is a phenomenal optic.

First off, this is not a product review of the functionality or quality of the Vortex Razor HD Gen III. This is to put all buyers of this not-so-cheap optic that when you purchase from this vendor via Amazon, your box will likely be open. If you are fine with buying something that is described as new and your box is open when you get it, then disregard. But I worked in retail for years and what we call new products that are open (Open Box Item) and that item is then discounted. The reason why is because the buyer has no idea of what happened to the product when it was opened i.e. tampered with, dropped etc. My first thought was that this optic was used as the display at the gun shop and then put in the box when my order was made. This is pretty common with gun dealers who will sell a gun that is on display and put it in the box as new, however, with the last firearm I purchased online, it took me 45 mins to remove all of the dead skin cells in the handgrip with a toothpick, likely from the hundreds of people that likely handled it before it was sold to me. So long story short, I returned the first optic and placed an order for a new one. The second one that came was ripped open as well, but this time everything was not put back in its proper place (I guess the person that took it out didn't have the time or care to try and make it look like no one had been in it). When I contacted the vendor about the open boxes, they said that this is a fulfilled by Amazon product (so direct from the warehouse) which is why I am warning everyone getting ready to drop $2100 plus for this optic. There is absolutely no reason why these boxes should be opened when they are fulfilled by Amazon. Just a fair warning before you purchase.

The best LPVO you can buy. Period.

I can't say enough about this optic. The glass is outstanding, imho opinion the best LPVO on the market at this time.Not cheap, but with even a little care it will be in service even with hard use for quite a long time.

Great optic. Arrived with seal broken.

Great LPVO. I was torn between paying $2000 for this and going with the Gen II for $600 less but I already have the Vortex PST 1-6 on one of my other rifles so I chose to go with this one and I’m so glad I did. Really love the 1st Focal point on this in comparison to the PST. The retical is so comfortably lit when you get to the 10x. And it’s so light. Love this.

Scope is great but arrived in an open box. Some of the contents spilled inside the bigger box. I think this scope was used. Disappointed.
