Vortex Razor HD Gen III 1-10x24 FFP
Illuminated EBR-9 MRAD Reticle
The Vortex Razor HD Gen III 1-10x24 FFP is a premium low-power variable optic designed to deliver exceptional versatility, from close-range shooting to more demanding engagements at distance.
Featuring a true 1x low end, 10x maximum magnification, an illuminated EBR-9 MRAD reticle, and Vortex's HD optical system, the Razor Gen III combines the speed of a low-power optic with the additional magnification and reticle capabilities needed for more precise shooting.
The first-focal-plane design keeps reticle subtensions consistent throughout the magnification range, while the daylight-bright illumination makes the optic particularly useful at lower magnification.
We've been running a couple of these for several years now, and the Razor Gen III 1-10 has become one of our favorite LPVOs.

EBR-9 MRAD Reticle
The EBR-9 MRAD is designed to provide a combination of close-range speed and more precise aiming capabilities at increased magnification.
Because this is a first-focal-plane optic, reticle subtensions remain accurate throughout the magnification range.
At 1x, the illuminated reticle provides a fast aiming reference for close-range shooting. As magnification increases, the reticle provides additional references for more precise aiming, holdovers, and wind corrections.
The MRAD configuration allows shooters to use a consistent angular measurement system for reticle holds and turret adjustments.
Optical & Mechanical Features
HD Optical System
Vortex's HD optical system is designed to provide excellent resolution, clarity, and image quality throughout the magnification range.
First Focal Plane Reticle
The EBR-9 reticle changes apparent size with magnification, keeping its subtensions consistent for ranging and holdover applications.
True 1x Magnification
The true 1x low end allows the Razor Gen III to function as a close-range optic while retaining the ability to increase magnification to 10x.
Daylight-Bright Illumination
The illuminated reticle provides a highly visible aiming reference, particularly useful at lower magnification settings.
34mm Main Tube
The 34mm tube provides the foundation for the Razor Gen III's optical and mechanical system.
Low-Profile Turret Configuration
Designed to provide practical adjustments while maintaining a streamlined configuration suited to carbines and other rifles using low-power variable optics.

Ally Munitions Notes
If you can't afford the Vortex AMG 1-10, this is the 1-10 we'd recommend if your budget allows.
We've been running a couple of the Razor Gen III 1-10s for several years now, and they've become some of our favorite low-power variable optics.
There's no shortage of LPVOs available these days, and we've spent plenty of time behind different options. The Razor Gen III continues to be one of the optics we come back to.
We like the combination of a true 1x low end, usable 10x magnification, the illuminated EBR-9 MRAD reticle, and the overall versatility of the optic.
The newer AMG 1-10 is a phenomenal optic, but it also occupies a significantly higher price category. Not everyone needs or wants to spend that kind of money on a riflescope.
For someone who wants a premium 1-10x LPVO without stepping into AMG pricing, the Razor HD Gen III is an excellent option.
We've put considerable time behind ours, and after several years of use, it's still one of our favorites.
