Vortex is expanding reticle choices for its Razor HD Gen III 6-36x56 FFP riflescope, adding a VMR-5 option alongside the existing EBR-7D. The move targets precision rifle shooters, particularly those running PRS stages where seeing impact and executing fast follow-up corrections directly affects match outcomes. When a shot timer is running and a range officer is watching, visibility of impact becomes as critical as the shot itself. The VMR-5 is built around that workflow. According to Vortex, the reticle keeps the target visible while providing fine subtensions for measuring targets and refining holds without obscuring the sight picture. For long-range shooters, the 6-36x magnification range supports both target identification at distance and shot impact verification, allowing shooters to dial elevation and windage adjustments without losing their line of sight to the target. The Vortex VMR-5 (MRAD) reticle The platform itself remains unchanged. The L-TEC+ zero system delivers tool-free zero capability with reliable return to zero, and exposed locking turrets allow shooters to dial adjustments and then lock them in place. The 34mm tube accommodates the magnification range while maintaining a first focal plane reticle, meaning the reticle subtensions scale with magnification for consistent angular measurements across the zoom range. Vortex specs the illumination system with 10 brightness settings and tactile clicks to prevent accidental adjustments. The Razor HD Gen III 6-36x56 has already been stress-tested in the field, including TFB, of course! In our 2022 review, the scope demonstrated clear glass quality at high magnification with no apparent clarity degradation even at 36x, something that not all high-magnification optics achieve. The locking turrets proved particularly useful in variable conditions, and the parallax adjustment down to 10 yards provided flexibility for getting rough zeros quickly when starting from distance limitations. The Vortex VMR-5 (MOA) reticle Shooters who prefer the denser subtension network of the VMR-5 can now choose it, while existing EBR-7D users can stick with the established pattern. Both versions ship with the same optical platform and turret system.What's the damage?MSRP: $4,799.99MAP: $2,999.99On the Spec Sheet:Magnification range 6x to 36xObjective lens 56mm, first focal planeTube diameter 34mmWeight 45.1 ouncesLength 15.3 inchesEye relief 3.5 inchesField of view 21.3 to 3.5 feet at 100 yardsTurret system exposed locking with L-TEC+ zeroIllumination 10 settings with side turretAvailable reticles VMR-5 and EBR-7D, in MOA and MRAD Are you running a busy reticle or a clean one in your long-range setup, and does the subtension pattern make a real difference for you in the field?
