Mine works in the locked and unlocked position.
Interesting. I thought if you had the lock removed the turrets stayed in the down condition.Either. The turret can still move up and down but is engaged in both positions
That’s what I thought would be the end result but that’s not the case. I only did it to one scope and while it works, I decided to just use “O” rings to hold the turrets up to prevent them from lockingInteresting. I thought if you had the lock removed the turrets stayed in the down condition.
Still waiting on Alpha Munitions to get my .25 caliber reamer pilot in stock (waiting on the manufacturing company) so they can ship my .25CM reamer to @CarbonSix so they can finish my barrel and ship it to me... Then I can finally go shoot my EO Exclusive Black Edition G3...

My LRP S3, or my RG3 6-36x56? I haven't had the chance to shoot the Razor G3 yet, so can't really comment on the glass or reticle or anything like that. Just playing with it inside the house and getting my chassis cheek weld setup. But after getting it dialed-in, I haven't noticed it to be too picky. But I also haven't really been up to the max mag and tried to look at anything inside of a 15x15 room. LOLNot going to lie, I'm liking the black. It has me reconsidering an LRP S3 as my next purchase. How is the eyebox on yours at 36x? I know that it is going to be tighter than 20-25x, but is it so tight that you just about have to be prone or off a bench?
Supposedly that was only a G2 problem, and was fixed before the G3 was released. At least, that's what I was told...Are the turrets coming improved from the factory or do they still need sent in for modification?
I've gotten 2 more gen3 razors in the last 4 months, a black and bronze, both have great turrets. Way better than my first pair of gen3 razors. They have been sent in for upgrades tho.Are the turrets coming improved from the factory or do they still need sent in for modification?
Good deal!I've gotten 2 more gen3 raozrs in the last 4 months, a black and bronze, both have great turrets. Way better than my first pair of gen3 razors. They have been sent in for upgrades tho.
That's my experience as well. First two had gummy turrets; one was returned to Vortex and came back with awesome turret feel. The most recent (arrived 11/23) had awesome turrets right out of the box.I've gotten 2 more gen3 razors in the last 4 months, a black and bronze, both have great turrets.

Can you describe the "gummy" turrets? Like, sticky or stiff, or mushy & very light click feel and sound?That's my experience as well.

I'll send the remaining gummy one in soon, now that the holidays are over (and before the 2024 SHOT Show).
Huh, those mushy turrets seem way better than the fixed ones. I hate how stiff the new ones are. I shouldn't have to death grip the thing to dial. My LHT is a little soft, I can dial it with one finger, but I'd almost prefer that over both of my "fixed" gen3's.
I was just watching that thinking the same thing... Like damn, my Kahles turrets are SUPER smooth and aren't super loud, and it doesn't bother me. My ATACR F1 turrets are smooth, semi-loud, but tactile as well.Huh, those mushy turrets seem way better than the fixed ones. I hate how stiff the new ones are.

Sounds "upgraded"I was just watching that thinking the same thing... Like damn, my Kahles turrets are SUPER smooth and aren't super loud, and it doesn't bother me. My ATACR F1 turrets are smooth, semi-loud, but tactile as well.
I guess my EuroOptic black G3 is definitely a "fixed" newest version. It's got loud clunky clicks and the lock/unlock is kind of janky and requires you to kind of wiggle it to lock & unlock and make sure it's seated all the way up and down...
Literally like gen-2 turrets injected with ice-cold grease. Think of how some varieties of lubricating or preservative grease or heavy oil stiffen up in the cold. It's like that. Stiff mushy feel with "muted" clicks.Can you describe the "gummy" turrets? Like, sticky or stiff, or mushy & very light click feel and sound?
I vastly prefer SE turrets to the G3. I think the new turrets are a response to customer demands and we’re in the minority.Sadly, and this is going to piss some folks off, but I think my Strike Eagle has smoother turrets, and it locks and unlocks WAY better than my RG3... I don't understand how the locking mech is so janky and shitty on the G3, when they were able to make the illumination lock/unlock SO smooth, like it's riding on fluid-bearings...
Yes it does.Does the upgraded turret stay in the up position better? I don't think mine is upgraded. What I hate about it is how any weight downward it locks down
From my experience they get to it the day they get it, or the next, and get it out the door the same business day, back to you.Ok sorry I should have asked before but how long does it take for the round trip to send it in for the upgrade
I just got a second one last week and the elevation knob was crap, sent back in before I even used it. The windage knob was perfect.Are the turrets coming improved from the factory or do they still need sent in for modification?
comedy goldLike soft farts as you dialed.
A thread should be started to note/discuss what members replicate audibly as turret noises.....comedy gold

Watch till the end lol (it’s short).
I've not had an issue with that in the 4 rifles I have em on. Just make sure your zero lock screws are good and snug. Guys that have wandering zero, I often wonder if they have parallax completely dialed out. It dont make much a difference 400y and out(other than image/reticle focus) but it can definitely affect poi drift at shorter distance.I'm finally getting back home from a long work trip and will be looking to try out my 6-36 soon. The only question I have is has anyone run into a wandering zero issue with theirs? I don't put 100% faith in the droptesting stuff but from that test it actually passed the drop tests but had a wandering zero which I thought was odd.
