Out of Stock Planet! 😂

[@Fromthefuturetimes]

Just bought the Razor HD 1-6 and I love the thing. Also may I ask what Camera did you use while filming this review? I like the clarity

[@Patrick_Bateman____]

If you buy from optics planet and you don’t get your order exactly when they said you’d get it don’t worry. Just wait a couple years it’ll show up.

[@Patrick_Bateman____]

@textme-9796 No

[@Masta_E]

So true. Lol. They wouldn't ship my package until I asked why it wasn't shipped, next day shipped. Waited 2 months. I'll never order from them again. That being said it's a dope optic in this video which is why I'm here.

[@tactikiller]

I’ve only had one issue, they said something was in stock when the distributor didn’t have it, and after a month the order was cancelled. Outside of that, everything I’ve ordered has shown up with no issues.

Great Video. I love My Razor gen 2. It is still heavy but the clarity is unsurpassed. I did have to spend extra for the throw lever. after zeroing at 50 yards. I can shoot out to 350 without Much effort.

[@benrent6625]

How much that run u?

[@martiniversen4898]

@@benrent6625 $1,300. got it from a guy who still had it new in the box and needed some cash. Some people say the JM1 reticle is too simplistic, but I like it.

Bang up job as always my friend, going back and forth between the Razer and the new PA 1-8 compact ACSS for my 13.7 Blackout Defense… so I needed this vid man keep it up brother

[@715Tactical]

Appreciate you man 🤙 I have zero experience with the PA but what I can say is that you can't go wrong with this Razor ⚔️

I hear the eye box is tight on the pa c 1-8

[@TexasShotz]

@@Michiganbreadboyz_bt8919 and it’s weird because I’ve heard that it has some of the best eye relieve you can get on an LPVO… this is why it’s really difficult to spend over $1000 optic that you can’t try out first…

[@elias8720]

I had the Vortex PST Gen 2 1-6x and the optic was pretty good, but you really felt the weight ... For a 1-6x SFP scope the max weight should be 18 oz, not 21 or even heavyer.

[@firstimeshooter6590]

That music was intense. I watch KZbin on the can and that was the craziest shit ever. 😳 literally!

[@AllMightyMuthius]

Really torn between this and the gen 3 razor. I have an AR10 and wonder which would be best as a dmr optic.

1-10 all day. It's my favorite

[@AllMightyMuthius]

Hell yeah, thanks

[@tx611]

Solid kit. Great production.

[@TheCarlzor]

Premium video. I've been looking into this thing for some time. Considered buying the new Strike Eagle 1-8 FFP because of the price but now Im not so sure anymore haha. Can I ask what camera you use for your videos? Im looking into making good quality content videos aswell for social media but doesn't know what to use.

[@Nylonscheme]

Definitely RAZOR

[@bravowhiskey4684]

What about this is exclusive to OP? You can get a gen2-e razor anywhere.

[@715Tactical]

Yes sir!

[@santange7]

How does this compare to the Credo 1-6 you reviewed last year? Worth the extra weight and cost?

[@715Tactical]

The Credo is awesome for the price but if you can squeeze the few hundred more, the razor is the way. The clarity is unmatched.

[@xxxlonewolf49]

FFP or hard pass. I learned the great use of ranging with a proper BDC with my ACOG on Afghanistan.

[@jerichorosas]

Super weird that this is SFP, I guess it’s the budget option.

[@justinshelton5586]

@@jerichorosas SFP is generally preferred on 1-4/6's because rarely if you're ever turning the magnification up, rarely are you going to be using it below max magnification. If you are using it at something like 3X, you probably aren't engaging far enough to need accurate holds anyways. If you need the holds, you probably should have it on max magnification. SFP also allows for better 1X generally and usually a brighter dot in the options that are sub $2K range.

[@stevef4930]

@@justinshelton5586 your explanation makes perfect sense to me

[@trailertrashtactics]

If it was 1-8 or 1-10 I'd totally agree. But every FFP lpvo that I've ever seen you need to be at at least 6, if not 8 power for the reticles to be large enough to even use. And they have a big disadvantage at 1 power unless the reticle is daylight bright.

[@benrent6625]

Why even review a $1400 optic? Anybody with that kinda money to blow is just buying it for the prestige 😂 I'll stick with my $300 optics

[@715Tactical]

You must live under a rock

[@Warhorse556]

Lmao $1400 is cheap for an LPVO. $300 LPVO's belong on hobby guns.. just make sure to keep the receipt. When you need that warranty for $300 optic you'll be glad you did.

[@ericbennett1253]

$1400 is actually in the mid tier price range, and I think the point is...this is a top tier scope for a mid tier price. Anyone who has a $300 max investment limit either doesn't NEED better quality (cool), doesn't want to SPEND for better quality (fine), or actually doesn't think there is much difference between a $300 and $1400 optic besides "prestige" (ignorant). So $3000+ must be pure flexing to you? Man, $300 is maybe a nice red dot these days. But I will admit,... Arken scopes on sale recently for $300 was a sweet deal. And I bought a 2nd one. Arken punches above it's price point for sure, even at regular prices. IMO they are competitive with scopes 2x to even 3x the cost in some cases. But, that extreme value still does NOT make it "as good as" any top tier scope. That's like saying a Chrysler 300M was as good as a Bentley, and only 1/10th the cost. No. It's not.

[@jerichorosas]

Dude my Gen 3 1-10 is twice the price, this is a steal. There is very much a reason why these optics are pricey and there is very much a solid justification if you shoot a lot for getting an LPVO in this price range. Think about it like this. Why would I put a dog shit optic on my 2500 dollar rifle? That makes no sense.

[@Nylonscheme]

ZEISS, Schmidt & Bender, March, NightForce and KAHLES….THOSE 5 are prestige level scopes. Worth every penny!
