I don't have a Vortex Razor reflex. But it appears to be rail width like most other mini reflex sights such as the Burris FastFire 3.
Here is my FastFire 3 on the left and the much wider, larger screen of my DeltaPoint Pro on the right. 
DeltaPoint real world field of view.

It looks like it gets wider over the side to me. But maybe not as much? IDK..... It's a good question OP. I'd be interested in hearing too.

Can't tell. |

The nice thing about the Razor is the Lifetime warranty

The nice thing about the Razor is the Lifetime warranty Its not duty grade and not well protected, so you might need that warranty. It is less expensive, but also is quite blue tinted compared to the DP Pro. and, of course, not motion activated. |

Guys, I've had my DP pro about a month now and I've had it out on the range 3 times. I don't have a sling setup for this particular "pistol" yet so when running and gunning, the gun just gets dropped in/on blue barrels when I transition to my pistol. I'm not nice to it and It's held up wonderfully.
I'm beyond enamored with it, seriously the best dot I've used. |

Yeah, I typically avoid the first run of anything, but Leupold got it right the first time. |

I've been thinking hard about a DPP. I've never used a reflex sight before and would like to try one. A local store had the Vortex Razor and....Venom? (something like that) that I fondled but the batteries were dead in both so I couldn't check out the sight. Being used to magnified optics and full size Aimpoints my first though was wow, they're tiny little buggers!
Also, PSA has the Razor on sale with free shipping. http://palmettostatearmory.com/vortex-razor-red-dot-3-moa-dot-rzr-2001.html |

MS556 had a picture showing the two side by side. |

MS556 posted a pic of a DDP next to a FF3. I believe the Razor is slightly larger than the FF3. The Venom is FF3 size.

The only think I could find is an Internet pic of the Razor next to the older first generation DeltaPoint. I do not know if the DP Pro screen size changed. What stunned me was how dark and blue green the Razor screen was in comparison. And, of course, the DP Pro is much more ruggedized and is motion-activated. If you look back up at my photos you can see that Leupold has made the screen flat on the bottom and sides, compared to the original.

Its so tight I can only assume that they used the hood to select its dimensions. |

what kind of battery life are you getting? Which optic? If you mean the DPP, it will probably be at least three years. It's too new to say for sure, but it runs the same circuit and uses the same battery as the FireDot in my VX-R scope. I'm over 3-1/2 years now due to the motion activation circuit. I leave it on all the time. It's ready with no button to push. I turn it off only for extended vehicle transport where it will be bounced around and stay on. |

Leupold does not represent it to be NV compatible. I doubt I will to that route, but your experience suggests that I need not worry about a tube getting permanently burned. It does have one illumination setting just above "off" where I cannot see any dot in a completely dark pitch black room, so I wondered if that might be its intended use. I don't know. |

I would not hard mount any NV device on a rifle with any illuminated reticle. It will burn given enough time. I used it strictly head mounted, like I would normally.
