So I jumped on the bandwagon and bought a new 6.5 creedmoor rifle. Now it is time to mount an appropriate optic. I started with the idea of a Vortex Razor HD Gen II. It seems to get rave reviews and do all that I want. However, it is a 4 lb scope, and this is a Tikka lightweight rifle. It doesn't seem to be a good combo.
So, I started looking at the Vortex Viper PST Gen II. It has pretty similar features to the Razor, but is made in the Phillipines, and half the price. It is also a svelt 3 lbs, and not so bulky looking. It also comes in black, as opposed to the brown Cerakote of the Razor. It is about a grand.
In the same price range is the Leupold LRP. Very competitive on features and price. Both scopes are about 8.5 to 25 power.
Anyone here have experience with either of these optics?
