I recently purchased a SCAR 17, which will be arriving next week. Cannot wait. I've been trying to decide what optic I want for it, and I think I've decided on a Razor. I'm a fan of Vortex products, and the warranty is a wonderful thing, considering what I've "heard" about SCARs.
However, I'm kind of torn between the Gen II and new Gen III, mostly due to cost I guess. The rifle stung enough
I can get the Gen II 1-6x24 SFP MRAD for $1280 shipped right now from Optics Planet which also includes a $75 gift card (could be used towards a mount). If the gift card is factored, $1200 out the door.
OR, I could wait for the Gen III 1-10x24 FFP MRAD to release, for $1,900. I'd really like the extra magnification, and FFP, but is it worth an extra $700? Gen III also includes throw lever, L-TEC tool, and sunshade.
I don't intend to use the rifle for any specific purpose. Just want something with all-around versatility.

Edit: This video has me thinking I need to suck it up and get the Gen III.
