Subject: Vortex Razor HD II 3-18x50 - ISSUES?!?!?
Posted: June/12/2015 at 20:44
I will eat crow gentleman. This issue was all human error, both on my gunsmith and myself. Thanks to Vortex's help we got it all fixed up. My 3 screws on my windage turret were loose and I think that caused the reticle to float right a few inches. I got it back on track! I was happy with my grouping at 100 yds, see link below. I shoot a Howa 1500 .308 with 20" bull barrel. Everything is still factory on her except the now correctly functioning Vortex scope. The gun loves Hornady's 150 grain American Whitetail load. I figure once I start reloading and get a better stock on it I will be shooting .5-.75" groups. I am fine with that as it is a hunting rifle first and paper puncher second!
Thanks again everyone, especially to the guys at Vortex! This is why I bought the scope, couldn't deal with a more stand up company.
This is my public apology for recklessly blaming my equipment, and Vortex, when I was the problem!
Thanks!
