However, all the extra features don’t matter if you can’t see your target. The Vortex Razor HD Gen II glass is made to the highest standards with state-of-the-art techniques like XR Plus lens coatings that reduce reflection and allow for optimal light transmission as well as optically index matched lenses to provide accurate colors and image sharpness. The entire HD optical system enables the Gen II Razor HD scope to have extremely high resolution, color fidelity, and clarity for use in low light conditions and hit targets so far away, they can’t be seen with the naked eye. The intricate, glass etched and illuminated reticle really sets this scope apart allowing you make accurate range estimates, hold overs, a much more.

The L-Tec turrets are made from steel to provide a strong locking point to prevent you from over-adjusting and allows you to quickly change crank the turret to desired elevation without fear of breaking. It offers up to 28.5 MRAD elevation and 10 MRAD windage adjustment with infinite zero setting positions allowing you to set the zero between clicks. The hardened steel turret screws are treated with a dry lubrication and machined to sub 2-micron tolerances to ensure extremely smooth, frictionless adjustments. The same design is applied to the erector tube system except it is machined from a brass alloy with a chromium vanadium spring and mirror polished finish for even more precision when making adjustments. The quality glass and features list aren’t the only things that make the Razor HD Gen II 4.5-27x rifle scope one of the most popular on the market. The high-powered internals and glass are protected by an aluminum housing CNC machined from a single stock of aluminum to maximize alignment for improved accuracy and provides the durability to withstand heavy impacts without losing zero. O-Ring seals on all the potential water entry points ensures that this optic is completely waterproof and sealed from the elements. It is finished in a hard-anodized stealth shadow coating with a low-glare matte finish that helps to camouflage and protect. The ArmorTek coating applied to all external glass protects against scratches from dirt, debris, and prevents oil from degrading the lens. The EBR-7C MRAD reticle features a first focal plane design, meaning that the subtensions are accurate at any magnification level. It features .1 MRAD (MIL) click adjustments, allowing you to dial in to be more precise at long ranges where the margin of error is increasingly smaller. With the integrated ranging features, it allows you to calculate how far away your target is and the elevation holdovers help you to make the important first shot a hit. While this reticle seems extremely busy, it becomes extremely important at maximum magnification to be able to hit those long-range shots during time sensitive situations.
