[QUOTE="Alex Wheeler, post: 2238098, member: 101859"] I got my hands on one of these from a buddy. We are always looking for a light weight scope that has features of the heavy scopes. I wanted to put it on the scope checker to see if it would hold zero and track accurately. A scope checker is a one piece mount that has a frozen scope (45x leupold) mounted in fixed rings on one rail and the scope your testing on the other rail. The frozen scope is used as a reference. I put a ruler at 100yds and aimed the 45x at 30". Then dialed the razor over to the same point. After verifying both were aimed to the same point I dialed 10 minutes into the razor and re aimed it to 30". The 45x now was aimed at 19 1/2". Good, next I dialed up another 10moa and reaimed. Now the 45x was aimed very close to 9". I only took it up to 25 moa from zero but this scope dialed accurately to less than one click of error up to 25 moa. I cant same that for my current light weight scope which ads 1 moa over the last 10 moa of travel. I did also dial up and down a bunch and it always came back to zero. The other test is how it holds zero. Same deal, aim both reticles to the same spot and shoot a round for a recoil impulse. Then re aim the frozen scope, if the razor held its zero it will also be aimed to the same spot. It was. I fired enough rounds to be satisfied. Bottom line, I just wanted to share that this is a really solid option for a light weight scope. A lot of scopes fail these tests, so Im impressed with this thing.
