I currently have a Gen 2 razor on my RimX and I hate the 3 set screws to adjust the zero. I am looking at getting a Gen 3 razor. I like the ebr reticle. For the guys who run the Gen 3 razor do you find that the reticle is too small running 15-20 power. That’s where I run my Gen 2. I had a very little bit of time on a Gen 3 and I kinda felt that but it could also be because I didn’t have a ton of time behind it.
 
Nope. That’s where I run mine mostly and no issues. It’s nice to have the higher power when needed though. I think you will like the upgrade. I ran Gen IIs for years.
There are not a lot of guys I shoot with that run gen 3s but a lot run 7-35 ATACRS and Mark 5s.

I love everything about the gen 2 razor except for the 3 set screws to rezero. When I ran it on my centerfire I rarely had to make an adjustment. With it heating up here in the south SK long range isn’t playing nice.

Always got to make the small adjustments with temp changes. In NC and it’s been in the high 90s and over a 100 a few days so I can relate lol It’s easier with the one screw on the Gen III but still need to do it.
 
A lot of the time I will zero my scope by putting the slight offset in the program versus messing with the scope.

Yeah kestrel goes over how to do that. I guess I’m just reminiscing about the days where I ran a strike eagle. The glass is def not the same but it was nice to take the turrets off with a quarter in my pocket and make a fine adjustment and keep it rolling.
