This will be going on my 11.5" noveske SBR. My eyes aren't great and I have terrible astigmatism, so that's why I'm opting for a variable instead of a red dot. I found the original vortex razor hd 1-4x for $1k but with opticsplanet 10% off today I could get the hd2 1-6x for just a few hundred more. These are heavy optics but would the 1-6x just be overkill on a 11.5" build? The only other one I'm looking at is the trijicon accupoint 1-4x for $775 from fedtactical. Their warranty definitely doesn't stack up against the vortex though. What do you guys think? Any other good recomendations in this price range are appreciated.

actually a weird addition as well. I'm eyeballing this Vixen VII 1-4 on optics planet. or VIII 1-6. Unconditional lifetime warranty just like vortex, and i've always heard they make incredible spotting scopes and binoculars. I didn't even know they got into the scope game. Anyone try one of these yet?

Trijicon ACOGs bloom pretty bad for my eyes and I too have astigmatism.



I'd go with the Razor 1-6.

wow. The Vixen line seems pretty nice. Doing some reading. Japanese produced, unconditional warranty, under 1000 for a 1-6 mil dot, second focal plane, illuminated. I might have to be a test bed for these if no one has tried them.....

I'd love to add a Vortex 1-6 for my Noveske 14.5 buildf; I alreayd have a TA31, but i want to try one of those as well.

yeah. probably leaning towards the gen II. The vixen looks like it could compete, but i'm always nervous to be the first with something. It could be awesome for only $800 shipped, or i could really regret it.

Bump for the night crew. I only have until tomorrow to use the 10% off.
