Rifle Scopes Razor vs. Tango 6

[regnar375]

Razor gen 2 4.5x27 or Tango 6 5x30.

I did some searches and did not find many comparison's. i can get a deal on the sig so price wise they are equall.

Which one and why?

 

[Dthomas3523]

Sig resale blows.

Other than that, preference mainly.

 

[regnar375]

If resale blows, what is a used one going for?

 

[Dthomas3523]

I wouldn’t pay over 14/1500.

The 24x goes for less than that regularly.

Thank you

I've played with both and much prefer the turrets of the razor, couldn't tell on glass really as it was inside a store

FYI, we have the TANGO6 4-24X50MM - 0.1 MRAD ADJ - Graphite #SOT64012 on sale for only $1,399.99

Turrets are definitely better on the Razor, glass is slightly better. How you feel about the weight and open center reticle should be how you determine if the Razor is for you. Because if, like me, those things don't bother you- Razor is the best value out there.

Would you rather have a product backed by a company with one of if not the worst reputations in the industry or by one backed up with probably the best reputation in the industry?

5 years from now the Vortex will be worth what they are going for used. The sig you will be lucky to offload for 1/3 the price.

Something to think about and I am a Sig fan...

I have both, and can agree that the turrets on the Sig, while functional, fall short of those on the Vortex. In terms of the glass, I can't pick a winner off the top of my head... I'll try to do a back-to-back comparison soon. I *will* say that I really dig the floating dot in the Sig DEV-L reticle.

The Sig glass was comparable to the Razor but the turrets were absolute shit on the Sig. I am curious why all of them are on clearance, they must be rolling out something new at SHOT.

OK, so I have both of these scopes. I have the Vortex on a TRG22 and the Tango6 on a T3x-tacA1. I do like the Vortex turrets better. They are more definitive on clicks and easier to dial quickly. The Tango6 are a bit spongy and have to much play when locking them down. I do like the Tango6 reticle a bit better. The optics are close, but I might give the Vortex a slight edge. However, a little more magnification can help sometimes too! I just was looking at Sig site and noticed the Tango6 listed on the BDX page...hmmmm....Shot Show reveal?? https://www.sigsauer.com/products/electro-optics/bdxriflescopes/

That would explain the discounts and reduced inventories. Just a wild theory

I have a Tango6 and while I'm content with it. Turrets are the big difference between the two and the resale isn't great. Sigs do not have the following the bigger brand scopes do i.e. nightforce Khales, S&B, vortex, and leupold (mark5s and up). 4-24x50 is what I have.
