SouthernGunsLLC Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Any ETA for the VMR Mil reticle? Thanks Nick Waiting on my shipment of Mil reticle VMRs. Should be soon! -Omar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob01 Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 (edited) To help some I finally got to take some through the scope pics of the Vortex 1-6x with the JM-1 reticle. Again I will give my usual PSA that I am not good at through the scope pics and these are more to show the reticle for both hold over marks and the center red dot as I can't really get a good picture of the whole FOV especially at 1x as it's large.Pics of the neighbor's house again at about 75 yards. Need to laser their house so i know for sure but around 75 yards is a good guess.1x1x at a telephone poll at about 10 yards. Curtain is blocking right of picture.6x Edited March 20, 2014 by Rob01 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAFuchs Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 I was lucky enough to get one at what I've been told was "a good deal" and I know it! Really looking forward to getting it on target! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigblock455 Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Just looked through a Vortex 1-6x at today's match at some 200 yds targets. Set at 4x it is way brighter, way wider field of view and the JM reticle was easy to see without getting in the way than my 1-4x MTAC. I was amazed how much clearer the scope was. I do know I'm comparing a $400 to a $1400 scope. I'm in on a Vortex! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1chota Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Does the power ring ever get easier to move? Mine is very stiff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Switchview lever definitely helps with the stiffness but one can also send it back to Vortex to have it loosened as previously stated.

Fathead302 Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Hey guys, I am getting ready to plunk down the money for this scope, but just can't figure out which reticle to get between: JM-1 MOA MRAD Anyone have any thoughts on which would be best for the 3 gun game? Have any of you bought one of the above and been disappointed or have buyers remorse wishing you had gotten another reticle? Are the reticles other than the JM-1 too 'busy' for the quick determinations and shots we need to make, don't get in the way when hosing up close? Anyone know where the best prices can be found? Thanks for your feedback! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polymerfeelsweirdman Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Eye box, I'm guessing, means AFOV. Does anyone know what the AFOV actually is on this (in degrees)? Eye box is the space where you can put your eye and still see the image for instance eye relief is a fixed number however you are still able to see the image at points that are not at the exact eye relief Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davehorn Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 In my opinion, for 3 gun, the JM-1 is the way to go. Its easy to use. Hashes line up perfectly in my guns with XM193 or equivalent (changes a little different loads). However, I'm not a "rifle" shooter really. I need a pretty stupid proof reticle, and the JM-1 is it. If you are a rifle guy though, and are familiar with MOA or Mils, then the other reticles may work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your feedback! My opinion seems to vary from the others but for what I mostly shoot (factory .223/5.56 that's not hot like XM193) I found the VMR-2 MRAD reticle hashes to best match what I shoot out to 400 yards. After that it's a little more work but pretty doable. The reticle is for sure more busy than the JM-1 with the wind hashes but if you ever need'm they are there. My advice, chrono your loads and download Strelok+ to see which best works for you. +1 to Southern Guns. Edited April 5, 2014 by mngunguy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fathead302 Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 I received my new Razor today from FedEx. First Impressions: Holy cow guys, you were not overselling this scope! Very clear glass, nice fine hash marks and crosshair. Going to 6 power really makes my old 4 power seem,,,inadequate! The biggest thing I noticed was how bright the red dot was when at it's brightest levels. I am not over exaggerating when I say that the dot is brighter than an Aimpoint Pro. I hope that is not just a new battery and it stays that way. Looking forward to zeroing and using at some matches! Also, BIG +1 on Southern Guns whom I bought this from. Very nice to work with, great customer service all the way from the friendly staff I talked to on the phone, to the quick and free shipment!

Fathead302 Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 (edited) Ok, 2nd impression. I mounted the scope onto the rifle and looking through it, what the scope lists as 1x seemed more like .75x. As in the targets I have on my wall for dry fire seemed smaller through the scope on "1x" than they did through my other eye. When I put it close to 1.5x they seem to size up correctly. Has anyone else noticed this or should I book an appointment with my ophthalmologist pronto? ETA: Nevermind, I need to make a booking with my proctologist so I can have my head removed from my rear end , once I adjusted the diopter it brought everything right together.
