Ooo. Interesting. I wonder how big the eyebox is, or more precisely, if it's as generous as the 1-6 or the ATACR. I'm also curious if the "dot" will truly be as bright as the 1-6 or if it will be ATACR bright. And of course price.

Sometime in the next 6-12 months, I could see myself buying another LPVO, and the 1-6 may still be what I'm looking for, but competition is good.

[UWone77]

I'll probably wait till the end of 2020 to try one out.

I heard the price will be similar to the current 1-6 Razor, but not confirmed. I would imagine it going to be at least a few hundred higher.

[UWone77]

Disregard. $2800-2900 MSRP. So I'm guessing $2200-2400 street price.

[docsherm]

B&H has them listed at $1,999.99

I guess an actual link over a screen shot works better.

Hahaha... I was having a conversation with someone else after I was told by an industry guy that it was 28-2900... I'm like they're not going to sell at that price, They need to be like 2k.

Glad to see that it's 1999... way more reasonable.

Yep, I too heard $3k...... I was like now way unless they cut half the weight. At that price it is so going on my 308 Noveske.

$2900 msrp sucks. I’m guessing MAP is going to be $2499?

Found out it’s $1999.99, so not horrible, but still that’s a chunk of change.

[UWone77]

If it's $2500, I'll stick with the ATACR 1-8.

It really needs to be $1999 Street Price.

[voodoo_man]

I really hope its better than the NX8, because that was a serious letdown.

I'll see if I can snag one after I review and sell the nx8.

What changed your mind with the NX8? You were singing its praises when it came out and saying you'd switch everything over after looking through one. It's definitely not perfect, but curious on why the "sudden" change.

Street price is $1999, MSRP is 2900

[Dave Timm]

Here is my thoughts and initial impression.

Cool and all..but I don’t see a lot of these selling at the 2k price...you can get a new or Next to new razor 1-6 for half that..

[UWone77]

I noticed that B&H took down their product description page of the 1-10 at $1999.... was kind of fueling speculation that it was going to be more than $1999.

Yea weird Voodoo did sing praises of the NX8 like everyone which I never understood.

In any case the 1-10 isn’t really there to replace the 1-6 so I don’t understand the comparison. I would think it’s more suited for large AR platform role and some hunting rig setups.

Much better.

That's my thinking as well. I don't see this necessarily being the best option on a tactical carbine with a 34mm tube.

I think 1-6 and 1-8 will still be very relevant, maybe even at a lower price point.

[Ordnance]

Alright... into the fray... the 1-6x isn't really comparable to the 1-10x, especially since their 1-6 is a SFP and the new 1-10x is FFP, and one has a better reticle than the other. Second, MAP for the 1-8 ATACR is a lot more than what MAP will be for the Vortex. I haven't been able to get behind the new 1-10 in the field yet, so I can't really give an opinion on optical clarity and quality verses the 1-8, but the 1-8 will be hard to beat.

[SINNER]

I bet it’s got a great warranty... lol QC like a Middle Eastern IED.

You know what they say about the Vortex Warranty... it's lifetime cause you'll need to use it. [:D]

I wasn't singing it's praises, I stated (as I always do) I will let my experience guide me. As of this post, I put around 25k rounds through my SBR with the NX8 attached, it is definitely good when it comes to 1-6x shooting but at 8x it's near useless without an absolutely perfect cheek weld. I'll get into it more in my review (when I do it).

I ran an ATACR 1-8x for a class and it is an easy 30% better than the NX8. Yes it's heavier but it's eye relief is amazing.

While I am hopeful that the vortex 1-10x will provide a better experience but I am very suspect of it's 8-10x range being usable in an expedited prone position.

[gatordev]

With the exception of the dot brightness, it seems like the ATACR is everything the Vortex 1-6 was but with a better reticle and a bit more mag. I'm definitely a fan.

I'm also wondering about it's eyebox at low mag. My concern is that it will have a NX8 eyebox and not a 1-6/ATACR eyebox, in which case it's not worth the money to me. It will be interesting to see how it does.

[docsherm]

I have one of the Gen III scopes on pre-order. When i get it i will let everyone know.

[VIPER 237]

I’ll be at media day and a vortex rep said aero and Springfield should have demos on rifles so I’ll get some first hand experience.

[voodoo_man]

I hear that the 1-10x vortex is .5oz heavier than the atacr 1-8x

All that glass better be worth it.

Brownells has this listed at $1999 now for pre-order. Looks like that puts street price at around $1800 or so.

I pre-ordered from SWFA for $1,999 and got the new GEN III scope mount for an extra $20

Yup... wait for a 10% off coupon day... 4-6% active junky rebate....not too shabby.

[voodoo_man]

If this ends up in the $1500 range that's a decent price
