Vortex put up a teaser for a Gen 2 UH1. Looks like it will have NV settings. I will probably get one, if the price isn't rediculous.

Will they fix the clipping problem when the reticle goes to the left...I hope so.

I'm interested!

Maybe they'll have some kind of special when you buy a Razor HD Gen III 1-10x along with the new UH-1 Gen II.

I LOVE my gen 1, interesting to see what changes are in store for gen 2.

If it's NV compatible I'm going to be getting several of them.

Current UH1s don't have that center button. I'd bet thats the NV button.

Yes...if I transition fast from left to right...I will lose the reticle...every time...EOtech didn't do this...so went back to it...but if Vortex has fixed that issue...I will go back to a UH1...

Vortex mentioned on their FB page that the external design would look different? I'm definitely interested if so and the optic being US made is a plus.

I was hoping they would reduce the hood size and length so it didn't look as bulky.

As much as I'm not a fan of EoTech, now that they are out from under L3...There made in the US.

These have always been made in the USA from USA parts , except the hologram comes from the UK. I wouldn't imagine they would change that.

Oh yes, this will be mine. Looks great from that angle.

I will reward companies who innovate and improve their product line.

The EXPS is about a decade old if I'm not mistaken.

Do want. Would have tried a Gen 1 if it had NV settings.

US made except for the hologram portion, which is U.K. manufactured IIRC.

Negative...transitioning from target to target...or when I simulate clearing close quarters and you are in awkward angles/head positions...

My UH1 example was terrible...it would clip the reticle a good 1" before the reticle hit the left edge of the optic...the right edge of the optic did not exhibit this issue....

Interesting... I hadn't heard of that issue before, but also hadn't dug too deep into the UH-1. Is it a widespread issue?

More like style cuts.  Seems they’re going for the HALO aesthetic.

I don't know exactly when this was addressed.

My original UH1 from 2018 exhibits a little bit of the "clipping", but not enough to notice while actually shooting.  It also has a very small blue tint, only noticeable inside against a white wall.

The second one I ordered at the beginning of 2019 has no blue tint, and the reticle goes smoothly from edge to edge.  I emailed vortex and they did state that they did make those updates.

Cool, I've wanted to look through the regular one as I heard the outer ring isn't as dot-like as Eotech.  Wonder how they compare parallax wise.....

UH1s are very good on parallax. Its a design feature of holographic sights

The one video test I've seen of parallax testing and the Vortex holo was a huge red dot test, that compared a Sig Romeo sight, a PA MD ADS, a couple Eotechs, an Aimpoint PRO, T2 and i think a holosun as well. In that guys very limited testing he found the Uh1 to have the least parallax of all. Of course he did a no shoot test in his back yard though. Sample size of 1 and all that.

I have been using Gen 1 UH-1 pretty much since it came out.  It has not skipped a beat.  
I will definitely be testing Gen2.

I'm just guessing but probably similar to the Gen 1, which I think you see retailing around $400ish.
