Vortex Razor HD GEN III 6-36×56 FFP EBR-7D MRAD

Why we stock it

This is not an optic we selected from a spec. sheet. It is the scope both of us, as founders of Position 7, use and shoot in competitions.

Some may consider this optic overkill for a .22 LR. In practice, it is exceptionally well suited to precision rimfire. The parallax adjusts all the way down to 10 yards (9.1m), making it usable on short-range targets, while the 36.1 MRAD of total elevation adjustment provides the range needed when stretching a rimfire cartridge to its max.

The optical performance is exactly what you would expect from a high-end Razor: a bright, crisp image with excellent resolution and edge-to-edge clarity. The eye box is pleasantly forgiving, the exposed elevation and windage turrets lock securely, and the illuminated EBR-7D MRAD reticle gives you a precise, highly capable system for competition and positional shooting.

It is also built like a tank. The trade-off is weight: at 45.1 oz / 1.28 kg, this is not a lightweight hunting scope. On a competition rifle, however, that weight is usually far less important than optical quality, reliable tracking, usable adjustment range and durability.

There are more expensive premium scopes and there are lighter scopes. Taken as a complete package, though, we believe the Razor HD Gen III 6–36×56 offers one of the best price-to-performance ratios in the high-end optics category.

EBR-7D MRAD reticle

The glass-etched EBR-7D is a first-focal-plane reticle, so its subtensions remain accurate throughout the entire magnification range. Its MRAD-based layout provides detailed elevation and wind holds without obscuring the central aiming area. The side-mounted illumination control locks in place and offers ten brightness levels, with an off position between each setting.
