Overview
The Vortex Razor HD Gen III 1-10x24 FFP represents the pinnacle of LPVO development, offering a 66% increase in magnification over the Gen II while maintaining the same overall length and weight. This scope brings best-in-class optical clarity, true daylight-bright illumination, and first focal plane functionality to shooters who demand maximum versatility from close-quarters to 750+ yards.
Built on a 34mm tube to accommodate the increased adjustment range (120 MOA), the Gen III maintains the Razor line's legendary glass quality with HD optical system delivering stunning resolution, color fidelity, and edge-to-edge clarity. The EBR-9 reticle in MRAD or MOA provides precise holdovers that remain accurate at any magnification thanks to the FFP design.
While the increased magnification range does result in a slightly less forgiving eyebox at 1x compared to 1-6x scopes, the true daylight-bright illumination (starting at setting 6 of 11) transforms the center dot into a functional red dot for close-quarters work. This combination makes the Gen III the preferred choice for competition shooters, precision carbine enthusiasts, and operators who need to engage targets from room distance to 600+ yards.
