This monster of a LPVO was graciously sent in by Patreon supporter Dan. Ive been itching to try one of these out since they were first announced. I felt that if Vortex could really nail this one down, that it would be one of the best LPVO’s of all time. Its close, but they arent 100% there.

  6. Thank you for the review. I have 2 razors on my distance bolt guns. I have to admit I do have some challenges getting the proper eye relief quickly with my gen 3, 6 to 36 at higher magnifications. That being the case and your review, gives me pause moving on this LPVO. I spoke with vortex and their suggestion was adjustments to the ocular focus depending on shooting either closer or further. I understand the problematic application of that adjustment in all environments. This being my first LPVO purchase, I have a few questions. Is it true what it seems to me the MOA reticle includes a BDC and the MIL reticle is is simple graduated? Also, if my intention is to run this on a 556 platform carbine, has anyone zeroed specifically with a battle zero for targets close to 300 yards? For example a 36 yard zero and with the MIL reticle, have that zero in a ballistics calculator to hold or dial for further hits with heavier grain rounds? Thank you for anyone who may be able to offer any feedback.

  8. When it comes to the Eyebox if you mount it correctly in the PRONE position then you should be on point everytime you look through it. As long as you have the same or good cheek position.

  9. This optic is not perfect but becoming proficient with it will get you closer to perfection. For me it’s the best platform I’ve encountered in my 61 years. The gives and takes are in the right place and the correct proportions. Your review is perfectly laid out and nails every aspect of the gen3. I believe it’s the operator behind the gun that will make the difference.

  10. Sold both of mine regrettably I found the same issues and honestly I think he was generous with Vortex on this scope. It is a complete failure for this price point. 1 and 10x is extremely lacking and he is completely right about the eyebox it is cheap nikon buckmaster bad. Also agree the the old accupower 8x is a waaaaay better option if fact this razor is more like 8x than 10x compared to them. I didnt expect it to be an S&B but its a 1200 scope at best. Sold both of mine for about 1/2 the price secretly many know about this thing so save yourself the grief

  13. Good review but it was flawed.

    Your opinion was based off of your Gen 2 experience where Vortex hit it out of the park. You came into this review expecting the same thing and no LPVO will wow you and I have had LPVOs 3 times the price of this optic and it didn’t wow me
    either. It does everything 10Xs better than this and the NF ATACR. But again it was just solid. On to the next one.

  20. Comparing this review to the Kahles review, you seem to have a clear bias, even when the glass quality and eyebox is way better in the Kahles. The "but that's to be expected" attitude towards the Vortex was nowhere near the level of hatred you presented with the K18i.
