I want to put a variable 1-6 power optic on a general purpose AR in 5.56 that I have built up. Im looking at the Vortex Razor and the Leupold Mk 6, I can get them for similar prices. I was hoping some of you had some experience with both of these optics. I pulled the specs from the manufacturer's websites and put them below.
Vortex-
Weight: 25.2 oz
Length: 10.1"
Eye Relief: 4"
FOV @ 100: 115.2'-20.5'
Leupold-
Weight: 17 oz
Length: 10.3"
Eye Relief: 3.7"
FOV @ 100: 105.8'-19.3'
They seem extremely similar on paper besides the Vortex being around 8oz heavier. Usually weight isnt a huge concern to me. I realize that a lot of this is very subjective, but I was hoping some of you would have some pros and cons of each, or any special considerations for one or the other (such as having to use an extended mount for one, no basis on anything here, just providing examples). I hope some of you can chime in, I appreciate it.
