So, I've been running a Leupold Mark 4 2.5-8 for the last few years on my rifle (25-500 m matches), and while it has performed well, I want something new. I was looking at the Vortex Razor HD Gen II 3-18x50 as it has all the features I want, being a FFP reticule, Miliradian adjustments, Zero Stop and I like the EBR-2C (MRAD) reticule. From what I've seen, the optical clarity and over all performance of the scope is very good.
What is holding me back is the extremely high weight (almost 3 lb!). I've looked around, and have also been contemplating a Nightforce 2.5-10x32 or Kahles K312II 3-12x50, as they appear to also have the features I'm looking for. Unfortunately I don't have any first hand experience with the new Kahles scopes (have a few 20+ year old ones) or Nightforce scopes. I've owned one of the Gen 1 Razor HD scopes and was very happy with its performance, so that's why I was leaning towards the Vortex at first.
So, what are you guys using, and what do you suggest? Anything else I should look at? Budget isn't a big deal as I'll be cleaning out a few guns I'm not using.
Oh, I should also mention that the rifle is a semi-auto .223.
