Vortex Razor HD-E Gen II 1-6X24 Riflescope with VMR-2 MOA The Vortex Razor HD-E Gen II 1-6x24 represents the evolution of combat-proven optics into the civilian market. While its MRAD variant serves military units worldwide, this MOA configuration has been specifically optimized for competitive shooting and defensive applications. The HD-E variant reduces weight by 25% from the original Gen II, answering the civilian market's demand for a lighter, equally capable optic.
The optical clarity sets this Razor apart in the premium LPVO market. Achieving true 1x magnification - a feature often claimed but rarely delivered - enables instantaneous target acquisition with both eyes open. At 6x, the edge-to-edge clarity and precise MOA references support accurate shot placement to 600 yards and beyond.
Understanding the VMR-2 MOA reticle reveals this optic's versatility. The 2-MOA center dot provides precise aiming without target obscurement, while the MOA hash marks offer quick holdovers for both competition and practical applications. This configuration particularly excels in 3-gun competitions, where rapid transitions between close targets and precision shots are crucial.
At 21.5 ounces, the HD-E delivers premium performance at a weight comparable to lesser optics. While the Nightforce ATACR 1-8 and Razor Gen III 1-10 offer higher magnification, the HD-E's optical quality and true 1x capability, with a lower price tag and slightly less weight make it the sweet spot for shooters looking for the optimal LPVO.
The daylight bright illumination system, featuring 11 settings and true daylight visibility at its highest settings, ensures reticle visibility in any lighting condition. The generous eye box and forgiving eye relief make this optic particularly effective during dynamic shooting scenarios, where perfect cheek weld isn't always possible.
