Vortex Razor III HD 4-24x44 FFP 34 mm AO EBR-7D MOA spotting scope (RZR-42401)

Vortex Razor III HD 4–24×44 FFP riflescope – precision and durability for demanding long-range shooting

The Vortex Razor III HD 4–24×44 FFP riflescope delivers an exceptional balance between high magnification and a wide field of view, making it an excellent choice for tactical and long-range shooting. Optics characteristic of the Razor series provide an image that is bright, sharp, and rich in detail across the entire field of view, allowing comfortable and continuous observation of both the target and its surroundings. The extremely rugged housing ensures dependable performance in all conditions, whether during demanding competitions or use in challenging terrain.

Key advantages of the Vortex Razor III HD riflescope

The scope is built with outstanding precision, combining top-tier optical components with robust external construction. Its optical system uses dense HD glass with excellent light transmission, delivering a bright, high-contrast image that makes target identification easy. A wide field of view is paired with high magnification, ensuring versatility across a broad range of shooting distances. XR Plus lens coatings enhance clarity and improve performance in low-light and twilight conditions.

An extended EBR-7D reticle is positioned in the first focal plane, maintaining consistent subtensions at all magnification levels. Reticle illumination further improves visibility and contrast in varied lighting. Zeroing is exceptionally intuitive thanks to the L-Tec+™ Zero System, supported by a clear rotation indicator that shows the current turret rotation. Lockable, user-friendly turrets and an accessible illumination control knob add to operational comfort. A side parallax adjustment knob allows precise correction of parallax errors, while the ability to set zero between clicks ensures outstanding accuracy. The scope is housed in a durable aluminum body with ArmorTek® coating, finished with a matte surface ideal for tactical use. Sealing and argon filling protect the optic from harsh environmental conditions, all backed by a Vortex VIP lifetime warranty.

Optical performance and field usability

The Vortex Razor III HD is engineered specifically for long-range tactical shooting. Its 44 mm objective lens, combined with HD glass and XR Plus coatings, produces a bright, detailed image in both full daylight and low-light conditions. A wide field of view, reaching up to 10.3 meters at 100 meters, allows shooters to monitor the target area effectively, which is especially valuable in dynamic disciplines such as PRS where rapid target transitions are essential.

First focal plane EBR-7D reticle with illumination

The scope features an advanced EBR-7D reticle located in the first focal plane. This design allows quick and accurate ballistic corrections, with consistent spacing regardless of magnification. Compared to earlier versions, the D variant offers improved contrast for enhanced readability. Reticle illumination can be adjusted using a side-mounted control with a locking mechanism, enabling fast activation or deactivation without cycling through all brightness levels.

L-Tec+™ Zero System and advanced adjustment mechanism

Zeroing and adjustment are among the strongest features of the Razor III HD. Large, glove-friendly turrets incorporate the L-Tec+™ Zero System, allowing the shooter to set and lock the zero securely while retaining the ability to make fast corrections. Returning to full adjustment is simple and secure, while the turret locking system prevents accidental movement. A rotation indicator clearly shows the turret’s current position.

For maximum precision, the scope allows stepless zero adjustment while still providing tactile click feedback for ease of use. This hybrid approach combines the accuracy of continuous adjustment with the practicality of click-based control. The internal adjustment mechanism uses a specialized brass and silicon alloy with extremely low friction, resulting in exceptionally smooth and precise operation.

Rugged construction for tactical applications

The 34 mm tube diameter provides a wide range of adjustment, offering up to 158 MOA of elevation and 86 MOA of windage. The aluminum housing is protected by a durable ArmorTek anodized coating that resists mechanical and chemical damage. A stealth matte finish minimizes glare and reflection, enhancing concealment. The scope is highly resistant to recoil, vibration, and impact. O-ring sealing and argon purging ensure waterproof performance to IPX7 standards and long-term fog resistance.
