Post up some pictures!

Sounds like a great value and I'm glad you're happy with it. Even though this is considered "budget" in this category, it's still not cheap.

Where is it manufactured? They don't publish that on their website. If it was Japan they'd shout that from the rooftops and if the Philippines I'd expect it to at least be found in the fine print because, hey, at least it's not China, but the fact that they don't list it anywhere suggests to me they'd rather we not know, which probably mans China.

Locking turrets is nice and I'm surprised at that feature at that price point. I don't think any of the 1-10s (or lower) on the market have parallax adjustment, but, yeah, when you are getting to 10x and are putting these on DMR type of setups you kind of start wanting that capability.

I'd expect the glass to be on par with the PST but a 34mm tube will make a big difference. I.e., if you put PST (Philippines) glass in a 34mm tube, I suspect you'd basically have the same thing.

Why do you say quality is better than Vortex?

Have you been behind a Razor Gen III on a range?

#4, in my opinion, is actually one of the things that really makes a difference and is why you pay more for higher tier optics in this category. The hard part of the engineering this class of scopes is being able to go from truly 1x to max and being great at both ends. The Razor Gen II 1-6 can be run like a red dot at 1x. The glass is fantastic, the tube disappears, it's super close to 1x, and the dot is bright. I still love my old PST gen 1 1-4x24 but it's a far cry from the Razor Gen II at 1X.

I'd say that for as much as you spend on the hobby, the next time you think you need a new gun you should instead consider treating yourself to at least one really nice scope.

And, since you mentioned it, what is your pet load for 69gr SMK?
