If you're talking about the Vortex Razor 6-36x56mm yes I have. I find nothing bad I can say about it. Everything is as expected and I am very pleased with it. Quality, ruggedness- (I'm sure)- even though I have not beat it up yet, tracking all that stuff is awesome. Just like my ATACR. If I can change one thing in both these scopes it would be the objective size. I totally despise 56mm, heck I do not even like 50mm for that matter. Give me a good 44 or 42 mil and I am happy.

If you were to choose between the ATACR and the Razor, comparing them both in mirage, bad conditions, best clarity and tracking, which would you pick ?

The Razor has better glass and a bigger eyebox on max power according to most who've done side by side tests. Both are top tier scopes with great tracking and durabity.

You can also get the Razor for like $2500, or a nice used one for $2K. That makes it a no brainer in my opinion. I don't think you'd be disappointed with one.

Don't forget , Vortex has a very nice promotion for MIL , LEO's , FIRST RESPONDERS . heck I "THINK" it's like 50 % or 60% off , if you qualify , that's a heck of a savings .

I do have a couple of the 5.5-22x50 NXS , and it works great . I "THINK " the 56mm OBJ is for light gathering at higher magnification , on these scopes that have max power in the 30's or more . I agree though , you have to mount them high , making an adjustable cheek piece necessary

Did you build this as an F-OPEN rifle? What’s the weight with scope?

Yes, F Open, I haven't got the scope or rings mounted on it yet. It came in yesterday, it was smashed lengthwise, the scope was to one side and upside down, out of the foam, sunshade was on the other side of the box, inside of the NF box was torn up, and I emailed EuroOptics with pictures and advised them that I am reluctant to keep the ATACR after what I saw, even the eyepiece of the scope made indentations on the inside of the box. They did not put any bubblewrap or cushions between the NF box and the shipping box. And yes, NightForce ATAR scopes are built like a tank, but for a 3k scope, I would send it back and I did. Once I shipped it off via UPS this morning with their shipping label paid for, emailed a copy of the receipt of the damaged shipment back to Euro Optics and immediately they packaged a new ATACR 7-35 and sent me a confirmation by email that the new scope was shipped out a few hours ago my way and that it was packaged with cushions this time. It should arrive tomorrow. Just got a confirmation to my phone that its on its way. Never had a package shipped in one day, yet needs to be seen. Great service from Euro optics once again.

I’m a Eurooptics Fanboy too. Great dealership. Purchased optics and rifles from them.

Looks like they have an extra 15% off promo deal on top of that also right now, which brings it down to $2550. That's a pretty dang good deal on that optic.

Congratulations looks great! I agree that Europtic is a class act. I just got my 2-12x40 Nightforce NX6 the other day. Fast shipping and as usual awesome NF scope! I also have an "ATACR" and it is also a great scope. Both track great and very good glass.

What scope are you looking at?

Don't mean to sidetrack this thread, but would like to see your review after you have rung out the new NX6! (What reticle did you go with?)

6 BRA built by Bat Machine. Need to look for a scope and rings from EuroOptics. Once the rifle is dressed up, I will clean the rifle and lube the bolt, run a bore scope to check things in chamber and barrel. If all is good, I'll run 28, 28.2, and 28.4 grain charges, 4 rounds each and all jammed .015-.020" into the lands to fireform from 6 BR to 6 BRA. I like to keep the case tight against the boltface when firing to get a good fireform. I will shoot one round first, clean and inspect the patches, then shoot a 2nd round and clean, then do 4 round strings. Hopefully I see some promise. I'll be starting with 103 Daggers from Barts.

Great looking rifle!
