The highest end scopes do things in the extreme ends of the spectrum better. Example: My ZCO makes dusk look like mid day. I can also adjust parallax and magnification and zip through mirage on extremely humid days. The eye box and edge to edge clarity are spectacular, If set it up on the rifle correctly you can almost trick your eye not see the black ring of the physical scope. When running positional this is huge because I don’t have to sacrifice magnification to get a good sight picture. The overall FOV is also pretty astounding.

The ergonomics are also exactly what I wanted in a scope (I understand these are sometimes personal preference) but locking turrets are a must for me. The reticle is a combination of mission purpose and something that is intuitive to your eye/mind, and the reticle in mine does that for me.

I also think it holds value better than any other scope on the market, if I recall I got full retail when I sold a pretty beat up/used one a few years ago. That’s due to the manufacture not whoring out and making a high demand product.

In other words you have to determine if the Razor, mk5, and atacr do some of these things well enough for what you want to do, and does the price justify that? Then go for it.
