I switched to this from a Nightforce NXS 1-4x24. I always liked the Nightforce and felt the glass on it was good until I finally got my hands on this scope. There is no comparison at any magnification. The glass is beyond superior and words do not do it justice. The illumination is daylight bright as well making the scope that much faster at 1x. It is bigger and heavier than my Nightforce NXS but for the better glass and illumination, it is an easy trade off to make.

An exaggerate, ultra clear HD field of view scope for AR platform type of rifle; or dangerous games or situations where a very wide view is a most. Excellent for ranging targets at its maximum magification. Illuminated center for dark targets or low light conditions. Built like a tank.Perfect color.Best scopes ,best company ,best service and the piece of mind of life time warranty on such high end optics .

I've had mine for a few months now and it been great. I like it so much I recently bought another vortex scope. Great products!

Got the MRAD 1x6 Razor HD II E in a Geissele mount on my HK rifle. Does everything you need it to do, without spending 3K or more. Field of view, red dot, reticle, and solidity all work together to handle most any situation that comes up, although I wouldn't put it on a 10.4" rifle. Perfect for the 5.56 carbine use. You won't regret getting one.

Extremely fast and easy to pick up in the bay stages, and when you need to crank it up to 6 and shoot 650 yards, not a problem!

There's not much to add about the Razor 1-6x that hasn't been said already, it's super clear optics, solid adjustments and red dot fast on the 1x. It is a true 1x but there's a catch to that in my experience and here's what I found. The scope is 1x until you get to just a few feet in front of the muzzle. So, from point blank to about 5-6 feet in front of the scope it seems to be about 1.5x or maybe a bit greater but at that distance it doesn't really matter. I've 'played' around pulling up and aiming thru the house as well as the woods and it really is 1x at most distances outside that extreme CQB-point blank range and is absolutely 'red dot' fast especially with the reticle illuminated. I have seen some You Tube videos saying that it isn't a true 1x but I can attest that again, it is 1x all the way up to a few feet from the muzzle. Speaking of the scopes magnification, the 6x is so crisp that it seems to be more usable than some 9x, 12x and greater magnified scopes that I have used so that makes it a great hunting optic as well as a tactical home/self defense toll. All in all it really is a great optic and I think it just may be on of the few if not the only scope(s that equals its price tag out there. Best bang per buck. Lastly, it does have a big booty so as one can read most anywhere the Razor 1-6x does come with some added weight but it's too bad.

I bought this LPVO for my patrol rifle and it has all the features I need. The illuminated reticle is daylight bright and the 1-6x magnification gives me the ability to ID what I’m viewing and the utility to reach out and touch something if need be. Glass is crystal clear and the turrets adjust with an audible click. Best scope I’ve had, and you can’t beat the Vortex warranty.

I bought the scope about a month to replace a non "e" version of the scope that had the jm-1 reticle. I went with the mrad reticle this time for more versatility. This optic is the best all round LPVO that balances quality and value. The optic is built bomb proof, but it is nice that it comes with a no questions VIP warranty.

This scope has the clearest glass and truest 1x out of any, including Leupold, Burris, Steiner, EOTech, and Trijicon. You can shoot close quarters or out to 500m with ease. You won’t be disappointed with dropping money on this, and with Vortex’s lifetime warrantee it’s a no-brainer. “Buy once, cry once.”

I've been shooting the Razor 1-6 gen II-E on my 3 gun rifle for several months now and its just simply amazing! The glass is super clear and the quality is second to none. It's built like a tank and with the Vortex no questions asked warrenty, I don't hesitate to put it through it's passes. It's the best scope that I own. Don't hesitate to buy one, you won't be sorry.

The Razor 1-6 has amazing clarity, is bright, and easy to see. I am quickly able to engage targets out to 600 yards, and is a great option on 11.5 and 14.5 55.6 rifles

I've been using vortex scopes and red dots for a while now. They have never let me down even during autumn or winter time here in finland when the variating temperatures and humidity can be really tough and demanding especially to your optics. First they are wet and after few hours theyre frozen solid. These bad boys still keep on going. Fog is always a great consern here too but havent had any issues with that either. I have had the non-E version for a while now and decided to buy this lighter version too for my new 3gun AR project. Lens brightness and clarity is something to fall in love with everytime you look through this scope. The view is insanely crisp. Windage and elevation can easily and accurately be adjusted with large posts. Finishing, quality and color on these razor scopes are superb as well. If i really have to dig something "bad" to say about these scopes is that the variable dial is waaay too tight for fast zoom changing and the switchview throw lever should be accompanied with these scopes. Always buy one with these. If youre looking to buy a variable in this prize category, look no further. You wont be disappointed.

I shouldn't have waited so long to purchase. Clear, bright glass with color that "pops", bright illuminated dot, near-1X performance, excellent build quality with beautiful anodized finish, positive turret clicks, simple and effective reticle (VMR-2 MRAD). The weight reduction of the "E" model means the scope isn't perceptively heavier than using a larger red dot (replaced and Aimpoint CompM4s) when mounted on a lightweight carbine.

Have owned 3, the optic is durable and provides an excellent multi-purpose optic.

Durable construction, clear glass, and a no nonsense reticle. This scope is perfect for a DMR or 3 gun build!

My first 3Gun match I had a scope that lost zero. Luckily, there was a Vortex Sponsored Shooter on my squad that let me borrow their back up rifle topped with this scope. I knew that my next optic purchase would be from Vortex. After buying a Strike Eagle when they first came out and competing with that for a year, I saved up the money for a Razor HD Gen II and fell in love. The glass is so clear and crisp. Shortly after buying this scope I cleaned up the long range stage at the TX3GC in 2017. Vortex is a joy to work with and order from and their customer service is second to none! I'm a Vortex customer for life.

I just bought this recently and paired it with my mauser 66s in caliber 7x64. Going to use it on driven hunts for moose and wildboar, and so far I am really impressed with this scope. Quick and easy to find the sightline, and it just works in every scenario I've tested it in. Thumbs up

Love my Gen II E 1-6. Perfect for 3 gun, great field of view, superb glass, reliable and durable. Would definitely recommend. Buy with confidence. Used by top 3 gunners for a reason.

Perfect for competition shooting! I started with a Strike Eagle and graduated to the Razor! Perfect for 3gun! Buy one, (or a few) you will not be disappointed!

Awesome glass clarity combined with it being bombproof makes this scope an easy choice for me, very pleased that I bought this a month ago and for the price you pay you get a lot.

This is the only scope that I trust on my Scar 17. The glass is crystal clear and the build is bomb proof - no issues in over 3k rounds on the 17s.

Have one on my Geisel URGI, go perfect together. 1x is nearly as good as any red dot, and then you can reach out with 6x

This thing is great. Even though my old strike eagle is nice, you can feel the difference in quality. The optics I'd say are probably 20-30% more clear than the strike eagle. The best part though, is both eyes can be open at any magnification! The red dot is crystal clear and basically functions as a normal red dot, it's that good. Only gripes would be weight, and no lens covers.. It's built like a tank though, so if you're going into a warzone you could probably take this with you. Still 5 stars though, better than any scope I've seen.

I didn't really understand how different glass could affect my ability to shoot. I was using a lower-priced optic from another company and was always happy with it, right up until I was shooting into shadows from an poor shooting position. Suddenly I understood how poor the eye relief on that scope was. How poor the glass was - I was literally unable to make out the target (steel spinner at 50 yards in deep shadows in the woods). Later a friend took me back to that target. It was darker than before. I sighted through the Razor and had no problems at all finding the target. The glass on this optic is simply superb. The fit and finish are great. Love the reticle, the illumination being only the fine red dot makes for perfect short range engagements. You need to see this to believe it and once you shoot with one you won't want anything less - I know I don't!

Hands down my favorite optic
By Joseph
I recently purchased the razor 1-6 gen ii e for my recce build. I have used 4x acogs with the rmr mounted on top and aimpoints with magnifiers for years. Without a doubt this lpvo is a huge game changer. The clarity is second to none and it is just as quick as my T2. The very same day I purchased this scope I took it out hog hunting in the cold rain and had no issues with it. This is my go to optic now and I hoping to get another one soon. If you are on the fence about buying this optic just...

Every component, feature and performance characteristic of the Razor HD Gen II-E 1-6x24 riflescope is so well thought out and executed, it's almost scary. And in 2018, its nearly 1/4 of a pound lighter. Perfect for rifle platforms, the Gen II-E 1-6 is a top-tier optical solution for short to medium-range tactical applications. Optically, it delivers the highest level of clarity, resolution, color accuracy, light transmission and edge-to-edge sharpness. The ultra-forgiving eyebox with generous eye relief generates a heads-up-display-like sight picture for fast target acquisition and optimal monitoring of the surrounding environment. A true, daylight-bright illuminated center dot gives shooters ultimate close-quarters versatility.
