Blacknsilver Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 It's a quality scope. Bloody heavy! Look at Richard Uttings review on YouTube. He goes into depth on that and another on a side by side test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xtrema Posted February 24, 2017 Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 It is a weighty beast but it was never designed to be put on a light stalking rifle. Excellent build quality and superb optics. I am very happy with mine, particularly as i was lucky enough to buy one before the price hike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisii2009 Posted February 26, 2017 Report Share Posted February 26, 2017 I have one for sale if you check the for sale section mate. I'm asking £1700. As for the scope .. I've tried a fair few of the best ones .. I've had the 624i and pm ii and personally I like the vortex the best mainly because of the reticle.. when you get to these high end optics there is so little difference. I'm switching to a nightforce atacr next just to try it as I love experimenting with different optics .. definitely a little heavy but for the money you really can not beat them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.300wm Posted February 27, 2017 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 Very heavy and well made scope, the zeroing system is the best I have used and I now no longer own any PM2s or Kahles tactical optics thanks to the Razor. Ideally I'd have one on every rifle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topscots1 Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 They are a fantastic optic.I am also selling one which is brand new warranty replacement as i damaged mine. I would not be selling if i did not live in the middle east for the next two years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherlock Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 Hello everybody i have an oppertunity to buy vortex gen 2 4.5-27 , what do you think about it ? I looked closely at this scope with a view to buying one. I also had the opportunity to test one in the field against its close competitors with Mr Utting and Sisnipe I decided not to get one . Here are my observations The scope is un-necessarily heavy and looks like a giant on rifles that are not equally as big The reticule - is very odd and I could not get on with this at all. it doesn't have an actual aim point - it has an "Open Centre" that you "frame the target" I found this quite annoying and a less precise way of aiming. I also should mention that the brackets got in the way of the surrounding target.

Vortex Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 Great optics. Got one about 2 years ago, 1500 on offer or there abouts. Can't fault it on any count, its heavy like everyone says but they seem bomb proof, and the warranty is great not that I have used it. UKSF wouldn't be trailing them if they weren't up to the job.
