Not the current gen. I believe it’s over 31oz.

My March 4.5-28x52 is 31.1 oz, 33.1 oz with sun shade.

Mine is the same and it feels like a feather compared to my Gen 2 razor

Then they should make this scope stand out from the crowd it's joining into. The easiest way would be it's weight class. The razor HD LHT 4.5-21 is 21oz, pretty decent glass, but turrets lack majorly, and they have zero retention issues. This scope will likely rectify those issue, but at a smaller objective(44mm correct?) and 11oz weight penalty. I guess I'm just disappointed hoping this scope was going to be something that vortex never planned it to turn out as.

If it's similar to the 6-36 won't it stand out based on FOV, eyebox, and easy to use controls?

The fov on a 6-36 isn't any better than tangent 35X or NF 35X. I don't expect the eyebox to be great on a 12.5" long 6x erector 4-24, physics will not be in its favor. I don't think the gen3 has any easy to use controls that set it apart, do you? The turret locks sucked for the first year, plus the zeroing system is as out of norm as you can get.

I have 4 of the 6-36 gen3s. They're a good scope, I also have the $1300 delta 3.5-21 which is most likely the bones of this new vortex, as it's low japan made. I'll likely get this new gen3 4-24 and run it through it's paces, if it's not $1k better in my eyes over the Delta, it'll get passed onto someone else.
