The thing that gets me to think about the 1.5-8x32 is the FOV.

Is it really as large as Vortex claims?

I have a 1.75-5x32 Diamondback on my BLR and more expensive scopes can't touch the FOV that scope offers. In the thick brush where I use that rifle it's fantastic.

The Razor is supposed to rival the FOV of my Diamondback with much better glass.
