Gen 2 looks sweet, I have a Gen 1, it's been a great optic!
I have the Gen.1 MRAD, excellent scope and with lighting reticle (Damn!), It's a hunters wet dream come true!!! Makes my mouth water just to watch this video :).......
You did an excellent job with the comparison. The best I have seen in a long time. However, you need to update this for glass clarity. This would require full magnification at long range, using close to 70moa. This will determine the quality of the glass working together.
Jumps Jumps I did originally attempt to do this as part of the comparison however the camera really didn’t do the scope justice and I didn’t want to give off a false impression of the true clarity
I have both scope on my Tikkas. They both perform amazingly
Great informative video
Thank you for taking the time to make this.
ashy1423 thanks for taking the time to watch
Just bought the Gen 2, taking it to the range asap.
I keep my REM 700 bolt knobs stock too!..does a perfect job
Wow that was a great comparison!
Leonard Payton thanks for watching!
Nice review, but I don't recall you staying what the tube diameter was. I have the Gen 1 6-24x50PST and that's a 30mm tube. I was going to go with the razor, but I already have a bunch of high quality 30mm rings and didn't want to invest in a pair of 35mm rings.
DocTango both tubes have a 30mm tube. Thanks for watching!
Good video. However, showing if there is a difference in glass clarity and showing the illuminated reticles would've been a good touch. And when you talk about the MOA range of adjustment, jt would've been nice to know what the difference would be in MILS as well since not everyone uses MOA. good vid overall tho. Thanks bro
The Motorcycle Boss I originally did film glass clarity but through a camera it doesn’t do either justice. There isn’t a significant difference in clarity between the two as both are crystal clear. As far as MOA bs MIL, it depends if you use the customary or metric system. Moa is for using range in yards, whereas mil corresponds to meters. A 1/4 Moa adjustment is slightly more fine tuned than a 1/10 mil adjustment. One reason I always go with Moa is because every gun range I have even gone to is in yards and it meters.
So In your opinion which optic is better and which one has the least amount of scope shadow when not lined up perfect behind the scope
really considering this scope for my Ar10 308 win build , are you happy with it? Have you had any issues with it
Nick Butler the gen. 2 is not personally mine but I have regular access to it through a family member. The owner is more than happy with it and there have been zero issues so far. I love Vortex optics, they are proven, but IF you have issues their customer service and warranty are second to none
I can get a gen 1 for 529.00. Is the gen 2 worth the extra $400.00? I mostly hunt with my rifle? I think I know the answer for me but I love new toys!!!
Look elsewhere for the gen 1 I got mine for 400
@@lasonbeld8413 can you please tell me where? I thought $549.00 was a great deal!!!
Gen 1, 6x-24x-50mm scopes, in SFP's are NOW,.. $389.00 + Free Ship, on Close out at,.. EuroOptic's
What,.. a DEAL !
Thinking about a Gen 1 for my 20” AR308. Not sure if I should wait for a Gen 2....
They are close in clarity, but the Gen 2 is built better and has more aesthetically appealing turrets in my opinion. Depends on if you think it’s worth the extra coin.
What about he glass?
thanks for the review
raudi thanks for watching
Amazing video great job I love these beauty scopes awesome good wow
Think a Gen 1 is still worth purchasing? Europtic has a closeout on the 6-24 with ebr-1 SFP for 570$. Thinking about putting it on my HMR just not sure if the FOV at 6x is enough as I plan on using this rifle for hunting as well as out to 300 yard target shooting.
Marqjosh I still use and enjoy my gen 1 quite a bit
BUY IT ..... DAMN!!! You don't need to ask mommy any more, maybe the wife....NAAAA F@#!% it buy a few and make sure it's the lighting reticle .
Yea, now 479,.
EuroOptic's "Close Out" deal is NOW, $389.00 + free ship on, SFP, illum, PST's, in gen 1, 6x-24x-50mm
The sun shade on the Gen 2 does not fit on the Gen 1 and vice versa I know it says 50 but it's bigger than that.
Plus the gen 2 sun shade is a bit shorter than the gen 1.
What mount do you think works best for the gen 2? Just got one. Don't have a mount yet.
my personal preference: Seekins Precision or Vortex Optics precision matched rings sets (both made my Seekins). They are affordable and lightweight, but built like a tank and NEVER move. On my hunting rifles with a 0-20 MOA rails ending at or just after the barrel, I prefer those rings in in the .97" height...gives a nice tight mounting option but leaves enough room between the objective bell and the barrel to clean and is resistant to straps, branches, rags, etc from getting wedged between them. If you are into AR 10/15s with a continuous rail, go with the same rings in the 1.26" or higher with any scope 50mm or bigger objective for good rail clearance (Seekins also makes a killer monolithic cantilever mount for ARs that I haven't tried). I Run the 1.26" rings on my long range bench/target guns as well because that height is more comfortable behind the scope (for me at least) for extended periods of time. Hope this helps!

Just bought a gen 2 for my .308
Enjoy it!
Great video! What kind of scope rings did you go with for the gen 2?
Patrick Ellis the gen 2 set up is not my own, so I’m not too sure on the specs but they are actually Eotech brand rings
And what's the glass comparison?
Mikey6048 honestly, nothing extremely drastic. The gen. 2 might have a slight improvement on clarity but both scopes are very clear
4MR Ranch Thanks boss.
Mikey6048 thank you for watching
Nice scope!
ŹÈÚŠ thank you and thanks for watching!
You didn’t even mention clarity. Even if it’s just your opinion. That’s literally the number one thing when it comes to scopes… there isn’t even a second place lol.
Clarity was very similar, with a slight edge to the Gen 2
What about tracking?
unisuit they both have exceptional tracking.
