Razor gen 3 1-10

Well cool to see but two pieces are 1-10x FFP will mean a 2moa dot is a 20moa dot at 10x and will cover most things at that distance.

Second piece is I expect a 2800-3600 price tag to go with it being a razor which will put it above many top brands in the 1-8x category, with many saying the Nightforce 1-8x being unusable at 8x due to reticle size.

Curious to see what else vortex brings out (would love a higher end red dot or a AMG(gen 2) red dot.

Also interested to see who else follows suit with 10x....
 
I couldn't see them making the illuminated dot magnify at range as 10 moa would be useless. Id imagine even being ffp that the illumination will stay the same as it's not illuminating the actual reticle but only the center of the actual glass just like the current razor.

As for price, I heard that it will be priced along the same lines as the current gen 2 1-6 (2k). Now I'm not sure how solid that info is, but that is what I read.

I do think that others will follow suite with 1-10 options. The razor has a solid rep and other companies will undoubtly follow along unless they want to loose sales to vortex.
 
March was building scopes with 10x zoom almost 15 years ago. Why has it taken so long for the others to catch up? Actually, I know, it's because they can sell a whole new series of scopes every couple of years as the next big thing.
 
The biggest problem with the high-magnification, First-Focal Plane (FFP) Low-Power Variable Scopes (LPVS) is the reticle's line size. If you make the reticle lines visible at the 1x setting, chances are that they will be so thick at 10x as to be useless. I find that the Trijicon 1-8x scope suffers from this problem somewhat, with quite thick reticle lines at 8x magnification. The Nightforce 1-8x reticle lines are apparently so thick at 8x that they are borderline unusable.

The easiest way around the problem is to have reticle lines so fine at 1x as to be virtually invisible, meaning that your low-power magnification settings rely upon an illuminated 1 MOA centre Dot. Science says that a 1 MOA is the same size at 10x as it is at 1x, so the illuminated dot itself does not grow in size as the magnification is increased. If I was a betting man, I'd wager that is how they address the problem in the new Vortex 1-10x - by using an ultra-fine reticle with an illuminated 1 MOA centre Dot...
 
I’m sure the dot will be on the second focal place like the S&B CC short dot.

I’m also not a fan of FFP for LPVO.

All that said it will probably be a decent optic if they can get the reticle to work being FFP which is always the battle with the FFP scopes, however with a 10zoom range lpvo they have their work cut out for them.
 
Price, reticle, and other info are on vortex’s website.
10x zoom but parallax set at 100m. I think they should of set that further out

Lol well couldn’t have been more bang on with pricing.... 2800 and change USD Msrp, had a feeling this was a response to nightforce, they even started to work on the weight, not in the same league yet but I expected worse.
 
To date in a 3-Gun match here or south of the border I haven't shot past 500yrds and my 1-6 razor has served me well,I don't see the extra 4x really helping me enough to justify the extra cost and potential hinderance of FFP at 1x which is where the optic lives most of the time in the game. On my NR black rifles for hunting in mule deer country I can see some advantages.
