I have the XTR Pro, LRP S3, and Razor G3. My favorite is the Razor for sure, but all are very serviceable on a hobbiest target/PRS comp rifle.

The XTR Pro is pulling up the rear on most things, but not by much. The contrast isn't quite there with the others, but the clarity is. It has a warmer look to it, and a better reticle for trying to punch parer vs the Zeiss IMO. I got mine when you could grab one for $1,400 - 1,500, and at that price range I think they are a fantastic optic. Not at $2K+ though.

For the LRP S3...I've griped about the lens coating and bloom when the rising/setting sun is directly behind you enough already. The reticle is a bit loud for my liking as well, but is very usable and reticles are personal preferences anyway. Otherwise I think it rules the roost of sub $2K optics still...but I wouldn't pay full retail of $2,200 - 2,400 to get one now.

The G3 Razor is very much comparable with the ATACR. You'll notice a difference between it and the previously two mentioned scopes above if you have them next to each other, but there's not all that much of a difference in glass. Mechanically, I like the detents on the Razor a lot more. Over Memorial Day you could get one for $2,400 again, but that only happens once or twice a year. Depending on what you qualify for... you can get an ATACR for less money the other 361 days per year, and that's what I did for my last purchase a year ago.

So my choice would be made on available budget (provided I could wait for and find the sales):

- $1,500 - XTR Pro
- $2K - LRP S3
- $2,500 - Razor

Sorry, no experience with the Element.

Shot at 3am, but "hours before the senior prom"?

FAFO on this one. Kicking in a door at 3am is way different then ringing a doorbell

I don't, but she definitely does. Open the door...see the bra owner. She's 51 in this photo. We're old, but very much alive.

And...unposted the photo. Some of you saw it.

Interesting read but they left a lot out, to their credit though they were only focusing in the electrical transmission side. Pipe lines can have major issues, and they did not go into what transformer core saturation will do to the primary voltage at the end users location. As they have no way to clamp it. There will be many, many fires from such unless quality protection is installed redundantly,...
