If you’ve got some cash burning a hole in your pocket, you’re probably fighting the urge to ditch the red-dot on your AR in favor of a low-power, variable optic. There are plenty to choose from, but the hottest new release of 2020 is the Vortex Razor HD Gen III 1-10x24 FFP.
That alone isn’t enough to tempt guys to shell out $2K, though. It’s got to have good glass, not weigh a ton, hold zero after rough handling, have plenty of adjustment, and have a well-thought-out reticle. Fortunately, the Gen III checks all those boxes.
Vortex’s head of product development Rob Morell tells us the Gen III was designed to perform out to 600 yards, but we racked up reliable hits at 750, and undoubtedly could push it further…
