Good right up.

My 4 Gen3’s have better resolution than my 7-35 ATACR and the image pops a little more. One big thing about the Gen3 Razor from an optical stand point is the field of view. The FOV is very wide compared to many of its competitors.

Yup love my Gen IIIs and can’t wait for the 4-24 version to come out in a few months. That thing will be awesome on my 6ARC AR.

Is it worth upgrading to a G3 from a G2?  I have a G2 with the EBR-7C MOA reticle on my LMT MWS.  Wondering if the Gen 3 is worth it or if I should just stick with the G2.

That is always a tough decision. I love upgrading, but it can get expensive. The G2's are great scopes, and I guess I could say the G3 is maybe an improvement depending on your parameters, but only you know if its worth the cost to upgrade.

Absolutely love the Razor Gen 3s I've seen several and ran some of the lower powered ones on some AR builds. They all have been rather nice IMHO.

I love my mine (black) I also have the 1-10 in black I’ve never mounted yet.

Im curious how the reticle is dialed down to 20x or so.

Is it still easy to use the 2 tenths holds on the windage line??

I looked at the moa version yesterday and honestly i couldn’t be certain holding a scope isn’t the same as looking while mounted on a rifle.

I will say i could easily see why every one loves the glass.

Yes. In a match setting, I’m typically running around 15-18x. No issue with using the reticle at that magnification.

been on the fence between this and the NF NX6 6-36 for my Barrett M99. The NF is quite a bit cheaper but I havent seen much feedback on it versus all the glowing reports about the gen 3 razor.
