This is a field evaluation of a Vortex Razor Gen III 6-36x56mm scope. This scope was brought to me from Ryan Avery for an evaluation, @Justin Crossley had it first. The ammunition used was Hornady Black 168gr AMAX that was purchased by Ryan. The 30 round proof group was just over 1.3 MOA.
The scope and weight-
It is a massive brick. I did not weight it before mounting, however it is a 15.5” long, 3 pound brick. Technically 15.3” and 45.1oz.
Turrets:
Elevation and Windage are both exposed and locking by pull up/push down. Elevation is 10 mils per rev, windage is half turn limited.
Locked-

There is a second revolution indicator on the base of the elevation turrets, parallax side.

This scope has a unique zero stop/zeroing system. First the turrets are spun to zero (all the way down on elevation). Then, the Allen set screw on the turret is loosened, and all adjustments for zeroing are done by turning the top mounted “Micro adjust dial”. There are no clicks in this dial, it is marked for increments. After you are zeroed, the set screw is tightened and the turrets operate normally.
