Vortex Razor HD Gen II 4.5-27x56 Overview

Designed and built for precise long-range shots in extreme environments, the Vortex 4.5-27x56 Razor HD Gen II Riflescope combines superior optical and construction elements to produce a rugged scope for hunters and tactical professionals alike.

Engineered with a broad zoom range, an oversized objective, superior glass, and specialized optical coatings every optical component complements the other to provide clear and bright images at all magnifications and lighting conditions, especially when sighting a smaller target at extreme ranges on the highest zoom. The apochromatic lens is made of high-density (HD) extra-low dispersion (ED) glass to maximize light transmission, minimize distortion, and virtually eliminate chromatic aberration. All air-to-glass surfaces have Vortex's index-matched XR Plus anti-reflective coatings which are specifically formulated for the glass to which they are applied to minimize light loss and maximize image brightness, clarity, and color accuracy. This combination of coatings and optics, combined with its broad magnification range and MIL-based ranging reticle and turrets, creates a riflescope uniquely capable of precise long-range shots.

An array of construction details protect the precision optics and enable the scope's use in the most extreme conditions. It is made of lightweight and durable aluminum alloy treated with a low-reflectivity and scratch-resistant matte-black anodized finish. The 34mm diameter one-piece main-tube is oversized for additional strength and maximum light throughput and allows for the wide elevation adjustment range that smaller tubes couldn't provide. It is filled with inert argon gas and O-ring sealed to make the entire scope waterproof and resistant to internal fogging when moving through extreme changes in temperature or environmental conditions. A 4" removable sunshade is included to reduce glare and prevent lens flare when pointing the scope in the direction of the sun.

Optical Performance
  • Ideal for long-range use, the powerful 4.5-27x zoom magnification allows user to see a wide landscape for observation with the ability to zoom in and make positive identification
  • Large, oversized 56mm objective is optimized for use during pre-dawn and dusk hours and ensures views remain bright and clear even when set at maximum zoom
  • Proprietary XR Plus anti-reflection fully multi-coated optics are index-matched to the specific glass they are applied on to maximize light transmission for accurate color fidelity and improved contrast and clarity
  • Apochromatic objective lens system uses complementary lens glass that provides accurate color balance without distortion
  • High-density (HD) extra low-dispersion (ED) glass corrects chromatic and spherical aberrations to eliminate off-axis comas and improve color and contrast
  • Plasma Tech coating application process enhances coating's durability and long life
  • ArmorTek ultra-hard scratch-resistant coatings protect from scratches, debris, dirt, and oil
  • 25.3-foot field of view at 100 yards on 4.5x, 4.4' on 27x

Vortex Razor HD Gen II 4.5-27x56 Reviews

a review after a week?

1st you should send out reviews for these type of items after a year or a couple months minimum. All these comments are first impression comparing to NF scopes I have. Wow this thing is heavy. The turrets are huge, elevation turret is stupid big. Glass looks good but have looked very little. I do like the way the illumination works, on and off from the brightness setting you like best. Fit and finish is great. Dont like the idea that you have to buy an addition part for a quick throw magnification lever. The main reason I purchased this scope is because you really only have two choices for high end with this type of reticle in MOA. Don't understand why you need to lift the turrets up for adjustments. My biggest issue is that the elevation adjustment is 25 MOA per rotation not 20 like my NF. The issue is that if I need 28 MOA of elevation, that is one rotation and then stop on 8 on on my NF. On this scope you would stop on 3, because 25 plus 3 is 28. Just not good. Let me say that if NF has this reticle I would never have purchased this. I hope to get this out on the range in a few weeks and will update after.

One of the best scopes for the price

question

can you change the eye piece?
Asked by: Anonymous
The eyepiece unscrews and is easy to remove, but there are no other eyepieces that can be used with this scope (i.e. there's no wide field eyepiece for digiscoping)

question

I just wanted to ask about the new once piece focus ring on the new model? I am a little worried about it as the last model had a course and fine focus and I wanted this primarily for target shooting. Is the new swarovski type focus ring just as good as the old fine focus or should I look for another brand of scope? Thanks.
