smokshwn Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 Jimmy, I think you looked at the Vortex Razor 1-4 which is a FFP scope. There is another line of scopes from Vortex. The Viper PST series which has a 1-4 version with an illumnated CQB reticle that lists at $499. From playing with it at SHOT it may have the potential to be a significant game changer in the 3 Gun Optic market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elenius Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 Is the PST out now? Looks like there are several web sites where you can order it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AWLAZS Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 (edited) SWFA said not yet. They are hoping for a spring release. Craig,you saw one at the shot show. If you were in the market would you buy the xtr or wait For the vortex? Edited March 15, 2010 by AWLAZS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sudden Death Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 (edited) I have a friend ( FB3GDQ ) he has one of the 1-4 it is very clear, the retical is very interesting but it is just a little bussy for ME, but I do think it may have a place in certain multi-gun matches. MY BAD AFTER POSTING IS REALIZED IT IS A HORUS NOT A VORTEX Edited March 15, 2010 by Sudden Death Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokshwn Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 (edited) I really do hope the promised April release for the Vortex scopes happens. They seemed to be a great bunch of folks and by all retailer accounts they are second to none with respect to professional relationships, not to mention their scopes to date have been very well reviewed. All this points to a good probability of success. However, the April release date involves a whole line of scopes 4 power ranges with 4 different reticles in both FFP and SFP. That is a lot of product to introduce all at once. My fingers are crossed because my impression was that all three of the Viper PST's offer good utility and value that is needed.

disjointed Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Any body if it is daytime visible illumination? Also, it's similar to the Burris reticle correct? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokshwn Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 I was not able to get the scope outside. But the illumination was very bright inside the convention center. It is not like the Burris. It is a MRAD or MOA crosshair reticle with four quarter circles that illuminate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jobob Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 I think I'd like one before Ironman, but I doubt that I can get one, and get some time behind it, by then. I'll either stick with my Accupoint 1.25-4, or get a Burris XTR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RufDog Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 I'm going to be running one of these this year as soon as they ship. The Razor 1-4 with 5.56 reticle looks VERY well thought out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gose Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 Any feedback on these scopes yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
00bullitt Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 I know all the Adams Arms guys are now running them as well as Whiskey1. I know Whiskey1 has the front focal plane Razor....not sure which one the AA guys are running but I know they will be along in here soon. I don't care for the Star Wars looking reticle in the Razor nor the fact that it is front focal plane. But thats me. I looked at a demo model of the new rear focal plane Viper at FNH and was really impressed. I liked the MOA reticle. Glass was excellent for a $499 scope. Turrets were pretty sweet too.

whiskey1 Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 I just got to mount up the Razor FFP from Vortex and I am very happy with it. The turrets are sweet. On 1X the entire reticle is placed over the center of the target since it is quite small at that magnification. At 4X it seems to work very well out to as far as we ever shoot 3G rifles. Benelli2 is shooting a Razor now as well. I'd be interested if his experience is the same as mine...BTW, I shot a 1st gen XTR when they were brand new and there is no comparison in the quality of the glass or reticle clarity. I don't know about the 2nd Gen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
35WLN Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 Whiskey1 Is there any way you can gets some pics of the reticle on 1 and 4 power on the same object? I was really hoping to check one out at Ironman but I didn't see them in the vendor's tent. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whiskey1 Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 35, Not sure if I can or not. I'm not much of a photog, will have to borrow a camera, and have never taken pics of a reticle before. I'll see if I can do something worthwhile though. Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EkuJustice Posted July 17, 2010 Share Posted July 17, 2010 I looked through one and while it was good clear glass, I wasnt impressed with the reticle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RufDog Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 I've been running a Vortex Razor 1-4 since the IronMan. Although i wouldnt mind seeing the 300yd wire a bit more eye catching, I personally think this is the best thought out reticle out there. I also have a 5-20 & the Razor spotting scope, I am pretty darned impressed. I think we shot ARs out to 500 & I had no issues. I shot the 550 & 720 tgts with the 5-20 & was very pleased. I'll be running this stuff @ the ITRC next which should really be a good test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
