Leupold mark 5 HD or vortex razor HD for PRS? Have been looking at these two scopes for awhile now. Ready to pull the trigger. Which one should I get?
 
IMHO, having a 35mm tube kind of hurts it vice the 34mm on the Razor. More scope options in 34mm

The scope tracking test that Frank does in his class the Mark 5 didn’t fair as well, but I don’t have any issues/concerns with mine.

Eye box works, magnification ring never sticks, east to set zero stop, enough reticle patterns to choose from
 
I have both,I have shot the mk5 for two year about 2500 rounds on it. I have had no issues l like them both. I think the mk 5 is brighter. If I had to pick one it would be the mk5. I like the zero stop better on the mk5. But the tube size is different so the mount/rings only work with it.
 
Pick the one with the reticle you prefer, either will serve you well. the only downside to the Leupold that I see is the over priced illumination option.
while 35mm rings/mounts aren't as ubiquitous as 34mm there are plenty of solid options.

Well I ended up going with the mark 5 HD, got the tremor 3 from liberty optics for 1,899.00 out the door. Planned on getting a spuhr mount regardless with either scope. So the 35mm main body will not be a issue.
