Description
The Vortex Razor HD Gen III 1-10×24 is designed for users who do not compromise on precision, speed and reliability. This is a rifle scope aimed at hunters and marksmen with a professional approach, intended for situations where every hundredth of a second and every millimetre of aiming accuracy counts.
Optical design
With a magnification range of 1-10×, the Razor HD Gen III is extremely versatile: at 1× it functions almost like a red dot sight, while at 10× long-range shots are possible. The HD glass reduces colour shifts (chromatic aberration) and delivers a sharp, high-contrast image with true-to-life colour reproduction across the entire field of view. The XR™ Fully Multi-Coated lens coatings maximise light transmission and ensure that the user gets high-quality images even in difficult lighting conditions such as twilight or at the edge of a forest.
Reticle and operation
The EBR-9 (MOA) reticle is located in the first focal plane (FFP), which means that the subtensions remain correct at all magnifications. The reticle is etched into glass for optimal durability and accuracy. The illuminated reticle position offers fast target acquisition in daylight – essential for hunting or shooting operations under time pressure. The turrets are low-capped and offer a click value of ¼ MOA per click. Both elevation and windage are adjustable up to ±120 MOA, with 25 MOA per revolution.
Construction & sustainability
The tube has a diameter of 34 mm and is made from a single piece of aircraft-grade aluminium alloy for maximum rigidity and internal adjustment range. The housing is O-ring sealed and filled with argon gas, making the viewer waterproof, dustproof and fog-proof. The outer lens surfaces are protected with ArmorTek® coating: extremely scratch and oil resistant. The finish is hard anodised in ‘Stealth Shadow’ matte black, which minimises reflections and gives it a tactical look.
Ergonomics & specifications
The length is approximately 10.1 inches (≈ 25.7 cm) and the weight is 21.5 ounces (≈ 0.61 kg). The eye relief is 3.6 inches (≈ 9.1 cm) and the field of view ranges from approximately 116 to 11.7 feet per 100 yards. The fixed parallax setting is fixed at 100 yards. The viewer comes with a sunshade, lens caps, throw lever, battery and tools for mounting and adjustment.
In practice
For hunters or sports enthusiasts who shoot in forests, open terrain or variable conditions, the Razor HD Gen III 1-10×24 offers a solid foundation. The 1× function enables quick sighting in dense terrain or when firing from a standing position; the 10× side enables precision at greater distances. The HD optics and light optimisation ensure that targets can be distinguished even in low light conditions. The robust construction guarantees that every valuable shooting session is supported by reliable equipment.
