I was going to say the same thing. Make sure to set the diopter correctly so the reticle is in focus. Power all the way up and parallax all the way up and then face the scope towards the sky or a light colored wall. Only look through a second or atwo max as the eye will adjust if you do. Make small adjustments.
The knobs on the Vortex will loosen in regards to dropping it into lock the more you do it. They are stiff at first. I usually leave my windage locked anyways as I hold all wind but my elevation stays unlocked unless it might get bumped if moving at a match and then I lock it. Nice option to have.
As for caps, order a set of Vortex Defender caps. They are about $20 each so $40 for the set. Well worth it.
I am surprised at your glass comparison as my Razor II was every bit the glass of my S&B 5-25 and others I let look through it agreed. I am wondering if the diopter setting might be effecting that as well when you adjust parallax to clear up the sight picture.
