[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Razor HD-II 1-6x - need a mount and throw lever

Posted: 12/6/2018 2:50:29 PM EDT

I bit on the $500 discount offered on the non-E Gen 2 Razor HD BF sale ($300, really, off the previously discounted price). Now I need a mount and throw lever to make the magnification change easier (I understand its a bit of a PITA to do a weak hand throw from 1x to 6x easily). Weight is obviously a priority, given the fat pig of an optic.

This will ride my SR15. Share your best recommendations, please.

I use the Larue LT204 for a toolless QD. I think Vortex is squeamish with vertical rings but I torque to 18 "lbs and it seems to work. They weigh a little over 7 oz. The Scalarworks are a little over 5oz. The Aero Precision is the lightest at about 3.5 oz.

Aadmount makes the best TL for it.
I'd pick Geissele, or the Vortex branded Seekins, or Badger Ordnance. Not necessarily in that order, for a mount.

I think I read recommendations on Scalarworks and Aero both before. This is my first LPVO, however, so all suggestions & recommendations are welcome.

Vortex is fine with vertical rings. You just have to tighten the screws correctly.

Vertical rings are fine if you know how to read the directions and use a torque wrench.

Geissele mount, and Vortex offers a throw lever that will fit, and I believe it's necessary.

Vortex throw lever, I use an ADM recon X mount it is heavy but with my hand further out on a 10" handguard it feels fine. If weight is a concern their is the Aero 3.5 oz mount but the SPR doesnt put the scope out as much as Id like. I prefer 2.5-3" of offset with the eye relief of the Razor which limits me to the Recon X or Larue SPR E (Idk of any other options that are lighter weight with the same offset). Other mounts I would use if less offset works for you: Warne Xskel, GG&G bolt on mount, or Geissele are options I have used before and felt sturdy.

I have the Geisele, Larue LT104, and Larue LT204.

The LT204 is my favorite. It is half the price of the Geisele.

My choices are:

Non-QD: Geissele and Badger

QD: ADM and Larue

If it matters, QD is not necessary here. Every rifle has its own optic.

I like LaRue LT-204, especially at current pricing!

For value, in non-QD, I think Warne X-Skel mounts are very hard to beat. I much prefer them over the "budget" mounts.

I’m a fan of adm mounts.

Vortex throw lever.

Warne X-Skel mount.

Everyone else covered the mounts. For the throw lever this Warne switchview appears to be identical to the Vortex one, but cheaper, out of stock right now though. I have one on a different scope and it works well.

KAC rifle? KAC mount. Might as well go all in.
