Rifle Scopes Vortex Razor HD 5-20 ret info wanted

[thebok]

Newbie on here - hello. Been reading posts off this site for some time now and have learnt plenty so have now joined as I want to further my optic knowledge and there's some very wise and informative people on here. So here goes my first post.

I'm a Vortex fan, a Viper sits on top of my Steyr that has served me well over the last and current HFT season here in the UK however I'm looking to upgrade to better optics and a better ret. The Razor has me very interested but a little concerned how fine/small the ret will look at 45yds on 9x as I've never used a FFP scope before (very few on the circuit) Can anyone advise or what would be really appreciated if someone could take a few pics for me!

I know you guys all shoot fullbore at some mega ranges but here in the Uk with all the restrictions its much easier to shoot airguns freely and some disciplines such as HFT are surprisingly very challenging in a 30mph wind! Mounting quality glass on these rifles is becoming the norm now amongst the top shooters. My Viper is the only one at present on the national circuit and has been knocked, rained on and covered in liquid mud (terrible conditions at the Worlds this year) and its not shifted a click - I have total faith in it! Hopefully the Razor will be the nuts!

From experience: Razor HD is a great scope. Mine has EBR-2 reticle. EBR-2 is great and convenient, but the drop-down tree is quite faint and hard to see except under very bright sun. EBR-3 does not have that drop-tree, otherwise that reticle is even better - and its 0.1 mrad subtensions make ranging much more precise.

My second Vortex Razor will have EBR-3 (unless I decide on EBR-2

).

Look at my profile and select show user's posts. I posted some through the scope pics of my Razor. I think I took pics at 5x, 10.5X, and 20X, although the 20X pic was a little blurry due to my sucky camera experience. You won't be disappointed with the Razor!!
