Vortex Optics Razor HD Gen II-E 1-6x24 Riflescope BDC Reticle, 30 mm Tube with Rings - JM-1
At nearly 1/4 pound lighter than the original Razor HD Gen II 1-6x24, the "E" (Enhanced) model allows for quicker transitions between targets and less arm fatigue during long days on the range. The Gen II-E 1-6 is a top-tier optical solution for short to medium range tactical applications. Optically, it delivers the highest level of clarity, resolution, color accuracy, light transmission and edge-to-edge sharpness. True 1x on the low end is complimented by an ultra-forgiving eyebox with generous eye relief for a heads-up-display-like sight picture and a daylight bright illuminated center dot in the reticle for extremely fast target acquisition in close quarters. Ultra-sleek and built like a tank on a 30mm, aircraft-grade aluminum tube, the Razor HD Gen II-E 1-6x24 features ultra-low profile, capped windage and elevation turrets for streamlined performance. Zero-resettable turrets offer 50 MOA (20 MRAD) of adjustment in a single turn, ensuring ample travel.

Maintenance Tips
- Clean HD Lenses Correctly: Use a blower first, then a microfiber cloth with lens-safe cleaner to maintain crystal-clear optics and coatings.
- Always Use Lens Caps: Protect the 24mm objective and eyepiece from dust, scratches, and fingerprints.
- Maintain Illumination System: Turn off illumination when not in use and replace battery as needed to prevent leakage.
- Keep Turrets & Zoom Ring Smooth: Ensure controls are free from dust and debris for fast, accurate adjustments.
- Avoid Impact & Shock: Drops or recoil stress can affect zero and BDC reticle performance.
- Dry After Outdoor Use: Even though waterproof and fogproof, wipe dry after rain or humidity exposure.
- Check Mount & Rings: Ensure included 30mm rings are properly torqued to maintain zero and stability.
- Store in Controlled Environment: Avoid extreme heat, moisture, and dust to protect internal components.
