What our Experts Think

• Elite long-range performance (Razor Gen II platform)
  Built for competition shooters, military, and extreme precision use, this scope delivers exceptional consistency, tracking accuracy, and reliability at extended distances.
• Horus H59 reticle = advanced shooter’s tool
  The H59 MRAD reticle offers a dense grid (“Christmas tree”) design for precise holdovers, wind calls, and rapid corrections—ideal for shooters who prefer holding over dialing.
• First Focal Plane (FFP) for true precision
  Reticle remains accurate at all magnifications, allowing consistent ranging and holdovers from 4.5x to 27x—critical in dynamic or timed shooting scenarios.
• Outstanding optical clarity & resolution
  Premium HD glass and coatings deliver excellent edge-to-edge sharpness, contrast, and color fidelity, even at maximum magnification.
• Top-tier turret system (tracking you can trust)
• 0.1 MRAD click adjustments
• ~33 MRAD elevation travel
• Locking turrets with zero-stop
  Provides precise, repeatable dialing for serious long-range work.
• Wide 4.5–27x magnification range
  Covers mid-range engagements to extreme long-range shooting, making it highly versatile for PRS, ELR, and tactical applications.
• Built like a tank (34mm tube & rugged body)
  Aircraft-grade aluminum construction, argon purging, and robust design ensure durability in harsh environments and heavy recoil setups.
• Heavy, competition-focused design
  At ~48.5 oz, it’s not intended for lightweight hunting builds—best suited for tripod/bench/prone shooting setups.

A: Absolutely. Built from a one-piece aluminum body, it is argon-purged, fogproof, and rugged, designed for harsh field conditions.

Maintenance Tips

• Clean premium HD lenses carefully: Use only a microfiber cloth and lens-safe cleaner. XR™ Plus coatings and ArmorTek® protection require gentle handling to maintain maximum resolution and light transmission.
• Keep flip caps installed: Protect the 56mm objective and eyepiece from dust, scratches, and debris—critical for maintaining long-range clarity.
• Avoid touching glass surfaces: Fingerprints reduce brightness and can impact precise target identification at high magnification (up to 27x).
• Check turret performance regularly: Locking turrets are designed for precise, repeatable adjustments—avoid impacts and confirm smooth tracking.
• Verify mount & ring torque: The 34mm one-piece tube must remain securely mounted to maintain zero and consistent accuracy.
• Maintain illumination system: Replace CR2032 battery as needed for consistent reticle visibility (11 brightness settings).
• Store in dry conditions: Argon-filled and fogproof, but prolonged humidity can still degrade seals over time.
• Wipe exterior after use: Clean anodized aluminum body to remove dirt, oil, and moisture, preserving durability.
• Check parallax & zero frequently: Side parallax (~32 yards to infinity) should be adjusted regularly for accurate long-range shooting.
• Avoid heavy impacts: Built for extreme environments, but precision internals can be affected by drops or hard recoil abuse.
