I’m really digging mine! A little chunky to go on a hunting rifle, but it tracks spot on, has great glass, nice locking turrets, etc...
That’s a great scope but I’m not sure that would be my first choice on a light gun like the Havak.
Most of my hunting rifles/scope combos weigh about 10 lbs, but I think this one will weigh a little more. I was not sure about this combo either, but I will have to get it put together and see how it works out. I wanted to go with some really good glass. For the type of hunting I do it should work fine (hopefully).
If I was going on a sheep hunt I would be running a different combo for sure.
What optic is everyone running on their 7 lbs hunting rifles?

It's an awesome scope. Been using one for years on my match rifles. A ton of elevation, great big eye box, great glass and reticle and the usual Razor II knobs and features. Can't go wrong with it.
Lost me when he said Razor clicks are not audible. They are very audible and tactile. You can hear them with ears on. Have 5 of them and all are like this.
Great scope it’s a 10oz difference between this and Nightforce. I’ll save my
Money any day with vortex and “toughen” up for 10oz lol

Im using the Bushnell 3-12 LRHS. The reticle is awesome for hunting and 12x is plenty mag for a dedicated hunting rifle. It does give up glass quality to the gen 2 razor, but I find I use my binoculars for scanning anyways. Once I spot an animal, the LRHS is plenty to get a shot off.
As long as you don’t hate the weight of the scope/rifle combo you will be happy with the 3-18 vortex
The reticle in 3x is small, but if you need to take a shot on a critter at close range, turn the illumination on to make thr reticle “pop” more
Some vortex defender scope covers should work well and are cheap

I have decided to get a gun (later on) to match this scope. Seekins is now making a tactical bolt. I will wait until they make that in a few more calibers. Maybe the 300 PRC. I am going to put a Nightforce ATACR 4-16x50mm F1 ZeroStop .250 MOA DigIllum PTL MOAR C617 on the gun I ordered. That should suit the pro Hunter better. ?
Just ordered the atacr today. Looking forward to getting it .
I have every reason in the world to think you’ll love the ATACR 4-16.
Honestly, some people like it more than others, but I’ve never read anywhere where someone DIDN’T like it.
It’s just a great scope. Like I said, some folks (like me) LOVE them, some folks are “yeah, it’s cool. But I’ve never read a “bad” review.
The size is good, they track awesome, they’re not super heavy, hell bent for durable, etc, you get the idea.
I shoot a 4-16 on my gas gun, and a 5-25 on my bolt gun. Both are H59 reticle for commonality between scopes. For now, with what the market currently offers, I couldn’t be happier.
Congratulations on your ATACR. Please do update us with your thoughts.

Have used mine in matches to past 1200 yards on about 18" targets and no issues seeing targets so seeing animals shouldn't be an issue. Shot 10" at 1000 and again no problems. It's very clear on 18x and is one of my favorite scopes as in most matches I rarely go above 18x. It has a lot of elevation too.
Not sure where you picked that quote up from. I said not as audiable as some others. Mine was much quieter then yours. Adjustments felt good and we're fine, but very quiet. Sample of one though. I don't have five razors to compare.
Anyways.. I have shot my 3-18 to 700 on 10 inch plate with a hunting rifle and seems to do well. Weight was why I replaced it on that specific rifle. Good scopes, but not exactly paired well on a light weight hunter. Just one man's opinion of course.
I absolutely love mine. I got it a few weeks ago and couldn’t be happier! It’s my first Nightforce and after one trip to sight it in, I totally get why everyone loves them.
so here is my question...why does audible matter? I am a hunter and dont shoot in comps so would prefer quieter. I am not counting clicks or anything. I just turn the dial to whatever value i want and go back to looking at the animal
It's not so loud it would spook any animal as you can see in the video but loud enough so if you did need to reach up in lowlight and make an adjustment you can.
Noticeable in the hand but mount both and you won't feel it on the rifle. Same when I replaced the S&Bs with the Razor. If you hold them in the hand you can feel the slight difference in weight but mounted the rifle felt the same.
Are you talking about the ring that the Tenebrex scope cover attaches to?
The covers have a part that stays on the gun, and a part that clicks on to that and is the actual cover.
On a related note, the objective bell threads on the NF NXS 50mm and VTX RZR II 50mm are the same--I was able to use my shorter black nxs shade on the 3-18, which was nice as i didn't want to trim down the rzr's.
But, the 56mm RZR II and 56mm NXS threads are not the same, go figure.
The Rzr II series lured me away from the NF ATACRs, especially with the $1K premium these days.
I would love a MIL-C or XT NF, but not when the Rzr II is getting nice updates for less. I really enjoy BOTH companies' ethos and product.
Looking real forward to some through the scope pics of the EBR-7C !!
