T Bacus Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Agreed, people who can afford a Razor are still going to buy one. As long as the glass on the Strike Eagle is in the same quality range as the Burris they will sell many of them to the budget crowd that can't afford a Razor. My son wants a Razor but can't afford one, but he will buy the Strike Eagle because he can afford it. Vortex is not loosing a sale, they are gaining one.

93notch Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 i am the same way, i would love to get my hands on a razor but cant afford to drop the money on one, but i can get the strike eagle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrtWhite Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Yup. I pre-ordered it to replace my Leupold Mark AR 1.5-4. Maybe in a year or so, if I feel the need, I'll upgrade to the Razor, but this is my first 3 Gun season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roadie3 Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 I also pre-ordered this scope, there was a good coupon at optics planet.com with memorial day. A rep from optics planet called and asked if I wanted to keep the scope on order because it will not ship for a little bit. He said they are currently in production at Vortex and it will ship around the end of June. Not sure how accurate that statement was, but it would be nice.

EaZeNuTZ33 Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 I handled one this weekend in Nebraska at the Zombie match. You wont be disappointed. I'm not giving up either of my Razor 1-6 scopes for it, but will likely have a couple to play with on a backup rifle and .22 trainer. For an entry level price point, this will be hard to beat!

YellowShooter Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 I got a call from Optics Planet... asking if i wanted to wait or get something else. They told me it will be release on 06/30... Let's hope its true! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOOM Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Speaking to Vortex direct. I was told there will be a partial release, and then a follow up. Many are already spoken for kind of hopping to catch the second wave; giving time for some reviews so I can bail. Sorry $325.00 just sounds to good to be true, but alway on the back of my mind P.A. $265.00 sounds better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhr1986 Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Ordered mine from Vortex back in Feb. I've been itching to make the switch from red dot to scope, really hope end of June is accurate. Of course I still need Aero to make some of their SPR mounts... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LikesToShoot Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 I bought the PA several months ago and it's a very nice inexpensive scope but it has a 3 year warranty. The current prices mentioned certainly favor the Vortex with their Life Time warranty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWatts Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 I'm a big fan of vortex, but there is no one who sucks worse about announcing new product and being completely unable to deliver on time or enough to meet the demand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LikesToShoot Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Pat, that's good to know Marshall stands behind his products well past warranty time. I've seen the pics and video from Vortex where they took care of scopes that were destroyed. Not that I plan to put mine in harms way but seeing them replace those abused scopes would be worth the extra money. IMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PM or email me any and I'll send you as many as you and your gun club, swat team, youth skeet team or buddy's need. Optics Planet literally carries everything I search for.

roadie3 Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Nope - 2015. It is always a guessing game when the items will actually be released. I suspect the current production of scopes will be to fill in the pre-orders with limited quantities for the shelves. After the word gets out, hopefully good, their production will catch up with demand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOOM Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Its really all about the Quality of the Glass, and will it have a generous eye box. As compared to other scopes at this price point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My man Jeremy at OP has one. I think Dillen Easley may be sitting on a prototype or a Chinese knock off. You can preorder at Optics Planet now. My 10% discount code puts it under $300.
