308 WIN to run a track test on the elevation and windage at 50 meters on a 5 centimeter grid target. Spun the windage and elevation turrets until my hands got tired a few minutes each day for 4 days.6 good whacks on a telephone book w/ the parallax knob in the 12 o’clock position.6 good whacks on a telephone book w/ the windage knob in the 12 o’clock position.6 good whacks on a telephone book w/ the bottom of the scope in the 12 o’clock position.6 good whacks on a telephone book w/ the elevation knob in the 12 o’clock position.Unlike my T&E on the Gen I Razor, I put the scope through the following prior to mounting it up. Keeping in mind that Vortex will want this scope back sooner or later (hopefully later) I only tested the ruggedness to a certain degree. The other four Gen I Razors I have sport the EBR-3 reticle without the open center.ġ0x magnification at 420 yards Ruggedness Testing I will say, however, the more trigger time I get behind the EBR-2C, the more I like it. The only thing I am not sold on is the 0.06 open center due to personal preference. 5mil markings, 1mil markings, and numbers down to 12x. I think most competition/match shooters will find the new reticle thickness very appealing. Again, this all comes down to personal preference and how the optic will be used. Anything above and below this is either too thin or too thick for my taste. My personal preference are reticles in the 0.030 to 0.035 thickness range. This is especially the case on darker colored targets or targets located in shadows as the reticle tends to wash out. I have been running a GenII XR reticle in my S&B for years and have found it to be a little too thin at times with its 0.025 thick main beams. The old EBR-2B had 0.05mil main beams where the new EBR-2C is only 0.03mil thick. Instead of making changes for the sake of making changes, Vortex gave a lot of end users what they have been wanting- a thinner version of their reticles! The EBR-2C is basically the EBR-2B reticle from the Gen I Razor thinned down. Optics tool provided by Vortex EBR-2C MRAD reticle A user also doesn’t have to go from the lowest setting to high as there is an “off” setting in between each power setting indicated by a dot.The entire reticle is illuminated and stays sharp even on the higher settings.Just pull out on the outer most knurled ring to gain access to illumination controls.

Illumination controls have been integrated with the parallax knob.

The Razor 5-20x Gen I featured a small turret and was not as comfortable to work with.

Parallax turret is the same size as the elevation and windage which I personally really like.

Parallax, Illumination, and 2nd Revolution Indicator

Specs indicate this optic will focus down to 32yards.

Yardage markings on the parallax turret correlate to the actual yardage you are focused.

I was able to shoot my track test at 50meters on high magnification without any issues.

This magnification power coupled with the thinner reticle makes for a great combination. This optic boasts a 4.5 – 27x magnification range. Left to right: Kahles 624i, Burris XTR, Vortex Razor Gen II, Bushnell XRS, and Vortex Razor Gen I Magnification

Custom tool to loosen windage and elevation knobs, and adjust your zero with.

The box is lined with a high density foam that will protect the optic during any transport or shipping. Package included the following: Like its predecessor, the Vortex Razor HD Gen II 4.5-27x came nicely packaged from the factory.

A few trips to our 550yard steel range to see if my hold overs match with the dialed dope.

About 8 trips to the 100-300yrd bays to confirm zero and ensure no shifts have occurred.
