Ahh. I’m down to try. 

$1699, pre-order.

Damn you. Stop tempting me. 

Vortex 1-10x24

Geissele "Super Precision 1-6" to be released (or at least information) at SHOT next week.  Looks very close to a Razor HD. 

Dammit. . . gonna need to work a bunch more OT. 

A friend of mine checked out the RG3 @ SS 2020 and said it was tight.

I trust his opinion on FOV, red dot illumination, and eye box/eye relief at 1x and at 10x.

... but just to further confuse matters, I hear that Kahles dropped a pretty phenomenal 1-8x LPVO.

Got some feedback from folks that handled the Razor Gen III at SHOT and seems like it's a winner.  Have opportunity to preorder one and I am VERY tempted.  Will have to see what the pricing is and weigh some things. 

Seems like the LPVO market is really heating up!  Hope it doesn't burn my wallet too bad.

I've been thinking about getting the RT-6 Tactical Kit from Burris if they still offer the NRA instructor discount.... for shits and giggles.  Picking up a DD Pro and that barrel is capable of sub-moa so it would be nice to stick something with a little magnification on it  to screw around with.  HOWEVER!  My Eotech EXPS-3 is already on the way lol.  But if we still get the discount, it's hard to say no to a 1-6 scope, mount and fastfire 3 for $288....

Do it! 

There are plenty of options for complete uppers or barrels for accuracy.  I've done a lot of research on that in the past 3-4 years. 

I read somewhere there are micro magnifiers coming out.  Maybe one for the EXPS 3 :hmm:

     


Made in the USA! 

Primary Arms has some new stuff coming out.  this one could be on the expensive side, expensive for PA anyways.

Looks like you're gonna have to build another AR.

Yup!  Found a lost detent spring while cleaning today.  Guess I gotta build another AR.    I'm seriously thinking about picking up that 1-10 from Vortex once all the craziness dies down and companies start to get stock in.

I'm waiting for parts to arrive.....

My parts are on the way but was getting scarce a little while back, and my optic is on backorder till sometime in may. Now the waiting game

Excited to see more reviews later this year between the razor and new kahles 18i. 1st vs 2nd focal plane is the biggest caveat, as well as price. But its also japanese vs euro/austrian glass and build, so should make it interesting.

That's a whole new level of degenerate black rifle disease. 

I am also looking forward to seeing the Vortex 1-10.  There were a couple others as well.  Definitely a good time to be in the LPVO market.  I mean I am really happy with my NF, but damn there are some very good options out there.  Both high end as well as awesome "more budget" options.  Really might have to build another AR. . .

As mentioned above, I'm one that likes to try things side-by-side and see for myself.  I mean that was manageable for Eotech vs Aimpoint.  I would live to do that with these LPVOs, but dayum.  From the guys that I've spoken with who have shot with other higher end optics (Leupold, Kahles, S&B, etc), they've generally told me that it usually comes down to the finer details, such as reticle, adjustments, etc.  For me, honestly these are all way beyond my capabilities (I'll never out perform them), but still good to see for myself what I think about the different offerings.  Still fun to try the different ones though.

Keep me, and others on here, posted on what you need.  I have lots of stuff in my "box of stuff".

thanks. I think I got all the parts on order, just gotta wait. doing a build for a friend, his first AR.
kind of glad that the upper was still processing, bc I was able to call the shop in AZ and changed my order to a different upper. changed my mind at the last minute.   

This might be outside the topic, but what are your guys' thoughts on the new Vortex 1-10?

The Razor Gen III 1-10? I’m really interested in at least trying it out. Had a couple of reviews on YouTube.  Since I recently got a NF, don’t think it would realistically buy one for myself though.
