Riflescope Adjustments
Reticle Focus Adjustment
The Vortex Razor HD 1–4x24 riflescopes use a fast
focus eyepiece, designed to quickly
and easily adjust the focus on the
riflescopes reticle.
To adjust the reticle focus, look
through the riflescope at a blank white
wall or up at the sky. Turn the eyepiece
focus knob in or out until the reticle
image is as crisp as possible. Try to do
this quickly, as your eye will try to
compensate for an out of focus reticle.
Once this adjustment is complete, it is not necessary to
re-focus every time the scope is used. However, as your
eyesight may change over time you should re-check this
adjustment periodically.
Wa rn in g: Looking directly at the sun through a rifl escope or any optical
instrument can cause severe and permanent damage to your eyesight.
Windage and Elevation Adjustments
The Vortex Razor HD 1–4x24 riflescope incorporates
precision finger adjustable elevation and windage dials with
audible clicks.
Elevation
Adjustment Knob
To make adjust ments:
• Turn the adjustment dial in
the appropriate direction Up/
Down or Left/Right indicated
by the arrows.
• Move the dials in the
direction you wish the bullets
point of impact to change.
The Razor 1–4x24 riflescope
Windage
Adjustment Knob
uses clicks scaled in ¼ minute of angle measurements (MOAs)
so each small click will move the point of impact 1/4 MOA.
One full MOA equals 1.05 inches at a 100 yard distance: ¼
MOA will equal .26 inches at 100 yards, .52 inches at 200
yards, .78 inches at 300 yards, etc.
Example: At a 100 yard sight-in distance, it will take four clicks of
the knob to move a bullet’s point-of-impact 1.05 inches.
The Razor HD 1–4x24 riflescope with the CQMR-1 uses
an elevation knob that is pre-calibrated to two popular loads
of the 5.56x45 mm round: the M193 and the M855. The
M193 calibration will also work well with most 55 gr. .223
Remington loads. After the rifle is sighted in and the turret
indexed, the elevation knob can be rotated to match the
yardage being shot.

Radius Bar
The Vortex Razor HD riflescopes incorporate the patented
Radius Bar to visually assist in
Radius Bar
keeping track of the correct turret
knob position at the rifle’s zero.
By watching the position of the bar
during field use, the shooter can
quickly verify the correct turret
knob position.
In a CQB type of situation, the shooter can also use the
Radius Bar as a quick visual aiming reference.
To benefit from the Radius Bar, the turret cap must be
indexed with the zero reference line on turret post. See the
Sight In section for details on indexing cap.
Variable Power Adjustment
Illumination Adjustment
The Vortex Razor 1–4x24 riflescopes use a variable intensity
reticle illumination system to aid in low light performance.
Illumination intensity levels will vary from bright to ultra low
intensity compatible with night vision devices at the lowest
setting.
The illumination knob allows for 11 levels
of brightness intensity; an off click between
each level allows the shooter to turn the
illumination off and return to a favored
intensity level with just one click. The top six
settings (6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11) are visible in
Illumination Knob
the daytime, depending on the background
color. Settings below 6 are for low light use when the user’s eyes
have adjusted to lower light levels. Lowest settings are for use
with night vision devices.
To change magnifications, turn the magnification ring to
the desired level. The patented
Vor tex MagView will provide
a low light reference for
magnification level.

To change the battery, unscrew outer cap with a coin. Remove
the battery and replace with a new one.
Parallax Adjustment
The Razor 1-4x24 series riflescopes are non-adjustable
for parallax correction and are set from the factory to be
parallax-free at 100 yards.
• At distances under 100 yards, parallax error is less than 1 inch.
• At distances over 100 yards parallax error is minimal; using
good consistent shooting form and cheek weld will prevent most
problems with parallax.
