Vortex Optics Razor HD Gen II FFP Riflescope 4.5-27x56 EBR-7C MOA, - RZR-42707
- The Razor HD Gen II 4.5-27x56 is perfect for precision shooting and tactical operations. The L-TEC Turret System has a locking mechanism preventing accidental adjustments. A visual rotation indicator allows shooters to track of revolutions on the turret.
- EBR-7C is made for long-range competition shooting/hunting. A windage tree in the lower quadrants is for fast wind/elevation corrections. Numbers on the lower stadia have moved outside the windage dots for less obstruction around the vertical stadia.
- A 6x zoom range offers magnification versatility while the fast focus eyepiece adjusts the reticle into sharp focus. Side parallax adjustment and illumination controls have been integrated into one knob for easy access and streamlined performance.
- The APO optical system delivers stunning image quality through premium, high density, extra-low dispersion glass. All lenses are fully multi-coated with XR plus anti-reflective coatings to increase light transmission for amazing brightness.
- O-ring sealed and argon purged, the Razor delivers waterproof and fogproof performance while the single-piece, aircraft-grade aluminum construction gives shooters a durable platform. Armortek coatings protect the lenses from scratches, oil, and dirt.
Features
- HD Optical System. Optimized with select glass elements to deliver exceptional resolution, cut chromatic aberration and provide outstanding color fidelity, edge-to-edge sharpness and light transmission.
- XR Plus Lens Coatingsю. Ultimate anti-reflective coatings on all air-to-glass surfaces provide maximum light transmission for peak clarity and the pinnacle of low-light performance.
- Plasma Tech. Cutting edge application process provides unparalleled coating durability and performance.
- APO (Apochromatic). Index-matched lenses correct color across the entire visual spectrum.
- Optically Indexed Lenses. Optimized image sharpness and brightness from edge to edge.
- First Focal Plane (FFP). Scale of reticle remains in proportion to the zoomed image. Constant subtensions allow accurate holdover and ranging at all magnifications.
- Glass-etched Reticle. Allows for intricate reticle design. Protected between two layers of glass for optimum durability and reliability.
- Illuminated Reticle.
What our Experts Think
-
Elite long‑range performance (competition‑grade)
The 4.5–27× magnification range provides outstanding versatility—wide enough for scanning, yet powerful enough for precise target identification at extreme distances.
-
Top‑tier HD optical system
Apochromatic lenses with HD extra‑low dispersion glass and XR Plus coatings deliver exceptional clarity, contrast, and color accuracy, with minimal distortion even at max zoom.
-
FFP EBR‑7C MOA reticle for serious shooters
The first focal plane EBR‑7C reticle ensures accurate subtensions at any magnification, with a detailed windage tree and holdover system for fast corrections in real time.
-
Precision turret system & tracking reliability
Tactical exposed turrets with 1/4 MOA clicks and high adjustment range offer repeatable, precise dialing, critical for long‑range consistency.
-
Excellent low‑light capability
The large 56 mm objective lens maximizes light transmission, keeping images bright and usable during dawn, dusk, or overcast conditions.
-
Built like a tank for harsh environments
A 34 mm aircraft‑grade aluminum tube, ArmorTek coatings, and rugged construction ensure durability in extreme field and tactical conditions.
-
Illuminated reticle for visibility in all conditions
Adjustable illumination with multiple brightness settings enhances reticle visibility in low light without overpowering the sight picture.
-
Trade‑off: weight for performance
At ~48.5 oz, it’s heavier than typical scopes, but that weight reflects its robust build and premium glass quality—best suited for precision setups rather than lightweight hunting rigs

Maintenance Tips
-
Clean HD Optics Correctly: Use a blower first, then a microfiber cloth with lens-safe solution to preserve XR Plus coatings and color clarity.
-
Protect ArmorTek Coatings: Always keep flip caps on—these ultra-hard coatings resist scratches but still need protection from dust and oil.
-
Maintain Turret Precision: Keep exposed tactical turrets clean and debris-free to ensure accurate 1/4 MOA tracking and repeatability.
-
Avoid Impact & Shock: The scope is built for extreme precision—drops or recoil misalignment can affect zero and long-range accuracy.
-
Dry After Field Use: Even though argon-purged and fogproof, wipe dry after rain or humidity to extend seal life.
-
Use Sunshade & Caps: Reduces glare and protects the 56mm objective during bright conditions and transport.
-
Check Mount & Torque: Ensure 34mm tube rings are properly torqued to maintain zero and stability under recoil.
-
Store in Controlled Conditions: Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme heat or moisture to preserve internal optics and lubrication.
