I have no experience with, but according to others these excell at 1x as well. Razor 1-6 (weight difference is not noticeable, I have both.get whatever’s cheaper)

Obviously features/edge to edge clarity go up with price points. The following are lpvo’s that I have experience with that excelled at 1x performance. But to be fair the Nx8 is by and large the brightest LPVO I’ve ever used, just sucks the 1x is so poor compared to other daylight bright lpvo’s. Although its worth mentioning the ATACR is not as bright as the NX8 according to multiple owners over on snipers hide. The ATACR is apparently not as bad due to size and tube diameter but I’ve never used one so I can’t comment. Now if you mainly plan on shooting mid/extended range and want the ability to shoot up close, then sure the NX8 is a great choice. The FFP correction and short housing make it one of the, if not THE tightest and most sensitive eye-boxes of all the LPVO. If you are buying a LPVO for predominantly low-power/1x performance the NX8 should be last on your list. And most people seem to agree that if performance at 1x is important, the Razor is better than even the NF, unless you step it up another $1k to the ATACR. What would you say is as good or better at the same or less price? Usually I only see the razors compared to items that are more expensive like the Khales or Swaro. And if price is no object I'd take a serious look at the relatively new 1-8x scopes from Nightforce.Thanks, turrets make more sense than the caps themselves. OP: while the Razor is a very good scope, IMHO there are as good or better options with less weight, and often less money. If I were buying a 1-6x Razor I would absolutely get the -E model at the same price, or even for $100-200 more than the original brick model. Logically those changes must have some effect on strength, but the -E model is likely still strong for any reasonable use, and I'll bet other parts of the scope would fail before the modified parts. For the 1-6x -E model, I think Vortex specified some mix of lightening holes and/or aluminum. The gen2 4-27x is a notable brick at 3 pounds. Most of the Razor scopes, not only the 1-6x, have been quite heavy and they obviously weren't focused on weight in the initial designs. Weight no object the internal adjustment mechanism is made from solid brass. It sounds like it was mostly in the internal turret mechanism (not the caps, which were already lightweight aluminum). If you watch their 'clearance optics' you may periodically see the 1-6x Razor there, although probably not as cheap as the Euro Optic deal.Ĭomprehensive weight reduction. although they sometimes have good deals on sale. Non-sale prices at Midway are MSRP or MAP. Last edited by SomeOtherGuy 10-09-18 at 12:11. And if price is no object I'd take a serious look at the relatively new 1-8x scopes from Nightforce.

Isn’t supposed to be any different, they only lightened the caps for the turrets or something like that.Comprehensive weight reduction.
