I Spy New Baby Razor G3 4-24

Has anyone said if this scope would be marketed as a G3 scope or G4. If a G4 what’s the chance of another scope or two making an appearance? I.e. a G4 gen 6-36. Just rambling on a Sunday afternoon.

It is supposed to be Gen3.

Not yet. Unknown if it will be considered a G4 or an extension of the G3 line. Looks like a Gen 3 though. I will see what I can find out.

Won't know till we get more details, or someone spills them, from the above it sounds like it's lighter so that's a win for guys not wanting a 4lb optic. Could just be filling out the lineup, they have been trying to give away Razor Gen II 3-18's for almost a year now, and recently the 4.5-27's appear to be getting closed out some stores. So this might be filling a void for the Gen II's going away (total speculation). Looks to have the same turret/style as the 6-36 so it's not going to be cheap

I've often been confused of the popularity of say the 3-18 optics that are 95% of the price and size/weight of their 5-25, 4.7-27 counterparts etc. Now if it's 20% lighter, and cheaper sure I can see it fitting a use case. But I also don't get why guys put a huge mag optic on their bolt guns but then put a 3-18 on their 18lb precision AR's. The Razor Gen II 3-18 was a perfect example, they have been giving them away for $1100 or less now for months. It's not a bad scope but why buy a 3-18x when the 4.5-27x is the same size/weight/cost. You gotta really love 3-4.5x to give up 10x on the top end in the same package.

Now if the Gen II 4.5-27 does go away, and this 4-24 really is 30% lighter and smaller package than the 6-36, that makes a lot more sense to distance it from the 6-36 more than the 3-18 ever did from the 4.5-27

i'll wait for a closeout/discount on a new genII 4.5-27 for my 22lr open gun.
