- Vortex Razor HD LH 2-10x40

This glass will be going on a dedicated lightweight hunting rifle. I know a Leupold would work too, but want to try something different, and potentially with a little more quality.

My rifle is a 300 WSM, weighing in around 6.5 lbs with optic. Shots on game will typically be inside 600 yards, but I'm sure I'll practice killing steel/paper out to 1,000+ yards since there's not harm done if I make a bad call.


I have the Vortex you have listed. I like the glass and scope seems to track very well. No problem holding zero on a Forbes 308. Only dislike is the dials, they are not crisp , they are mushy.
