Any opinions on the Vortex Razor AMG or Gen 2?
Any opinions on the Vortex Razor AMG or Gen 2?
S&B 5-25 PMII
Save the weight over the NFand get the better glass, no CA, better turrets (MTC), etc.
Can be found used for just over $2k.
The Gen 2 Razor is 13 oz heavier than the Cronus BTR.Gen2 is similar to the Cronus BTR both in weight and quality. I've used 3 AMG's and have zero complaints, good glass and great feature set.

Where do you find these used? I did some searches and couldn’t turn anything up. Does Schmidt and Bender have the same durability as NF?

Though I've only had it since this last January, I'm really liking my AMG. It's the closest thing to a perfect hunting scope for my wants and desires I think I could get. I may get an NX8 to try in the future, they are very interesting to say the least. Waiting for more feedback on that one though.Any opinions on the Vortex Razor AMG or Gen 2?
The LRTS from Bushnell is the best optic under $1500 and 30 oz on the market. 28 oz and the non illuminated G3 reticle is great.
The new DMR II ED has pure fluorite glass and is brighter with a bit more magnification than the LRTS.
NF ATACR is right in your wheelhouse as well. Same pure fluorite glass as the high end Bushnell stuff. The new NX8 is something I’d go for over the ATACR just from a weight standpoint. Great mag ranges as well.
Athlon Cronus BTR is another Japanese made pure fluorite glass optic that has zero weak points. Don’t use many due to the weight however.
Mark 5 is getting more momentum and popularity with my customers. I’m digging the turrets and ergonomics/features. There’s a user here that’s had a parallax knob spinning under recoil issue, but that may be an anomaly. No failures yet.
Kahles 525. Phenomenal scope, don’t use much due to the weight again.
Good luck with your choices, new glass is always awesome! If you find yourself in the market for an Athlon or Bushnell, get ahold of me.

Hey Mike, appreciated your reply. I was able to spend some time around some lower end Athlons I was impressed. I looked at the Ares I think, but was looking online at the Cronus. What are a few things I will loose with the Athlon vs the nightforce ATACR or Mark 5
