Which scope would be the better option to get I can get either scope for a great price. so money isnt so much an issue the scope will be put on a remington 700 rechambered in 6.5creedmoore
I have looked at both the scopes in person and the Razor HD genII is a boat anchor real heavy so is it truly worth that extra weight? I hope to get into some local precisons matches with the rifle . I want to go with ffp but should I go with the higher magification of either rifle. Thanks for the help

Should I get a 370Z or a Nissan GTR? I noticed the GTR had poor gas mileage. Your options are the best Hensoldt, Zeiss, March, Schmidt & Bender, or Nightforce scopes, not a PST Gen2.

I’d personally go with the 4.5-27 since you’re only giving up 1.5 on the min power but gaining 9x on max power. The Gen 2’s are some nice glass. I’ve resolved 1” tan stickers on white targets at 600yds, which I think is pretty good.

OP, there's no comparison between these two optics, the Razor Gen 2 HD wins in every way except for weight. Yes, the weight kinda sucks, but if this is going on a precision rig then I wouldn't worry one bit about the weight. If you plan to run the optic on a hunting rifle then I would look at the Razor AMG, it too edges out the Gen 2 PST in every category.

I take it you didn't like it when you used it in CAG right? (since CAG is using them on all sorts of things including 50 M2s) (Sounds weird until you try it.) But I guess you know that.... (Others are also using it on M107s as well as OBRs and they work well on both)

OP...yeah the Gen 2 is good stuff.

Yes I got a gen II back in November and love it. Shortly after I was able to get a gen 1 for an extremely amazing deal. So I used that on my precision AR only was selling to put that money towards a genII because I love it so much.
