Riflescope Adjustments
Reticle Focus Adjustment
The Vortex Razor HD Gen II 1–6x24 riflescope uses a fast focus
eyepiece, designed to quickly
and easily adjust the focus on the
riflescope’s reticle.
To adjust the reticle focus, look
through the riflescope at a blank
white wall or up at the sky. Turn
the eyepiece focus dial 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.
Rotate ring to adjust
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.
Warning
Looking directly at the sun through a riflescope, or any optical
instrument, can cause severe and permanent damage to your eyesight.
the reticle focus.
Windage and Elevation Adjustments
The Gen II 1–6x24 riflescope incorporates precision finger adjustable
elevation and windage dials with audible clicks.
To make adjustments:
1. Remove outer caps.
2. Turn the adjustment dial
in the appropriate direction
Up/Down or Left/Right
indicated by the arrows.
3. Move the dials in the
direction you wish the
bullet’s point-of-impact to
change.
The Razor HD 1–6x24 riflescope uses clicks scaled in 1/2 minute of
angle measurements (MOAs) so each small click will move the point
of impact 1/2 MOA. Note: 1/2 MOA equals .53 inches for each 100
yards of distance [14.55 mm at 100 meters].
1 MOA (2 clicks) equals:
• 1.05 inches at 100 yards [29.1 mm at 100 meters]
• 2.1 inches at 200 yards [58.2 mm at 200 meters]

• 3.15 inches at 300 yards [87.3 mm at 300 meters]
• 4.2 inches at 400 yards [116.4 mm at 400 meters], etc.
Example: At a 200 yard sight-in distance, it will take five clicks of
the dial to move a bullet’s point-of-impact 5.25 inches.

Variable Power Adjustment
To change the magnification, turn the magnification ring to the
desired level.
Parallax Adjustment
The Razor HD 1-6x24 riflescope is
non-adjustable for parallax correction
and is set from the factory to be
parallax-free at 100 yards [90 meters].
1. At distances under 100 yards,
parallax error is less than 1 inch.
2. At distances over 100 yards, parallax
error is minimal; using good consistent
shooting form and cheek weld will
prevent most problems with parallax.
Rotate ring to adjust
the magnification.
Illumination Adjustment
The Razor HD 1–6x24 riflescope uses an illuminated central dot to
aid in low light performance. Illumination intensity levels will vary
from bright to very low intensity.
The illumination dial 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.
Pull Illumination Dial
out to adjust intensity level.
Push Illumination Dial

Battery Replacement
To change the battery, unscrew outer cap with a coin. Remove
the battery and replace with a new
CR 2032 battery.

Riflescope mounting
To get the best performance from your Vortex Razor HD Gen II
riflescope, proper mounting is essential. Although not difficult,
the correct steps must be followed. If you are unsure of your
abilities, it would be best to use the services of a qualified gunsmith.
Centering the Reticle
The Razor HD 1–6x24 riflescope is pre-set from the factory
with the reticle in the center of the adjustment ranges. If you
have changed the settings and wish to reset the reticle to the
center, this can be done easily:
1. Turn the dial (windage or elevation) fully in either direction
until stopped. Do not force the dial—as soon as any resistance is felt,
stop turning.
2. Carefully counting the dial rotations, turn the dial in the other
direction until stopped. Again, stop turning as soon as resistance is felt.
3. Turn the dial back again half the amount of rotations counted
and that adjustment will be centered.
After this procedure is completed for both the windage and
elevation dials, the reticle will be approximately centered.
Rings and Bases
Following the manufacturer’s instructions, mount high quality base
and rings to your firearm. The Razor HD 1–6x24 riflescope requires
30 mm rings.
Ring height for Razor HD 1–6x24 riflescopes will depend on
the firearm and mount being used. Consult the ring and base
manufacturer for suggested heights.
AR-style rifles will usually require an extra-high mounting height
on a specialized cantilever-style mount such as the Vortex ADR-X
cantilever ring mount (shown above).

Eye Relief and Reticle Alignment
Before the final tightening of the scope ring screws, adjust for
maximum eye relief to avoid injury from recoil.
To make the adjustment:
1. Set the riflescope to the middle of its magnification range.
2. Slide the riflescope as far forward as possible in the rings.
3. While viewing through the riflescope in a normal shooting
position, slowly slide the riflescope back towards the shooter’s face—
paying attention to the field of view. Just as the full view is visible, stop.
4. Without disturbing the front-back placement, rotate the riflescope
until the vertical crosshair exactly matches the vertical axis of the
rifle. Use a reticle leveling tool, plumb bob, or an adjustable set of
feeler gauges placed between a one-piece base and the flat bottom of
the riflescope’s center section for this procedure.
5. After aligning the reticle, tighten and torque the ring screws down
per the manufacturer’s instructions. Use caution and do not over-
tighten.
Example of Squaring the Riflescope
Use of an adjustable set of feeler
gauges between a one-piece base
and flat bottom section of the
riflescope to square the riflescope
(and reticle) to the base.
sighting in the Rifle
Bore Sighting
Initial bore sighting of the riflescope will save time and money
at the range. This can be done using a mechanical or laser bore
sighter according to the manufacturer’s instructions. On some
rifles, bore sighting can be accomplished by removing the bolt
and visually sighting through the barrel.
To visually bore sight a rifle:
1. Place the rifle solidly on a rest and remove the bolt.
2. Sight through the bore at a target approximately 100 yards
away.
3. With the target centered in the bore, make windage
and elevation adjustments until the reticle crosshair is also
centered over the target.

Range Sight-In
After bore-sighting the riflescope, select the exact ammunition
you expect to hunt or shoot with and go to the range for the final
sight-in.
1. Be sure to follow all safe shooting practices. Before shooting,
be sure the reticle is in focus (see Reticle Focus Adjustment on
page 4).
2. At your preferred zero distance, fire a three-shot group as
precisely as possible.
3. Next, adjust the reticle to match the approximate center
of the shot group (see Windage and Elevation Adjustment on
page 5).
4. If the rifle is very solidly mounted and cannot be moved,
simply look through the scope and adjust the reticle until it is
centered on the fired group.
5. Carefully fire another three-shot group and see if the bullet
group is centered on the bullseye.
After completing the final sight-in:
1. While holding the elevation
turret cap firmly between thumb
and forefinger to prevent any
rotation, use the 2 mm hex wrench
to loosen and remove the central
screw on top of cap.
2. Carefully lift the turret cap
straight up and off of the turret
body.
3. Re-install the cap, turning so
that the “0” mark aligns with the
reference dot on the turret body.
4. Re-tighten the central screw
while holding the turret cap firmly
between thumb and forefinger to
prevent rotation.

central screw.
Lift and remove

If necessary, make another adjustment to the riflescope and fire
another group to verify zero. This procedure can be repeated as
many times as necessary to achieve a perfect zero.
After the rifle and scope have been zeroed in, the elevation and
windage dials should be re-indexed to their zero indicators. This
will allow you to accurately keep track of elevation or windage
corrections dialed on the turrets in the field and quickly return to
an original zero point setting.

5. Repeat the same procedure on
the windage turret if desired.
Re-install the cap,
aligning “0” mark.
After making this adjustment, the turret cap’s zero mark will
correspond with the 200-yard zero on the rifle.

Cleaning
The Razor HD riflescope requires very little routine maintenance
other than periodically cleaning the exterior lenses. The exterior of
the scope may be cleaned by wiping with a soft, dry cloth.
When cleaning the lenses, be sure to use products that are
specifically designed for use on coated optical lenses.
1. Be sure to blow away any dust or grit on the lenses prior to
wiping the surfaces.
2. Using your breath, or a very small amount of water or pure
alcohol, can help remove stubborn things like dried water spots.
Lubrication
All components of the Razor HD are permanently lubricated,
so no additional lubricant should be applied. If possible, avoid
exposing your Vortex riflescope to direct sunlight or any very hot
location for long periods of time.
Note: Other than to remove the turret caps, do not attempt to
disassemble any components of the riflescope. Disassembling of
riflescope may void warranty.
tRoubleshooting
Sighting-in Problems
Many times, problems thought to be with the scope are actually
mount problems. Be sure the mounts are tight to the rifle and the
scope is secured so it doesn’t twist or move in the rings.
An insufficient windage or elevation adjustment range may indicate
problems with the base mount, base mount holes drilled in the rifle’s
receiver, or barrel/receiver alignment.
Check for Correct Base and Ring Alignment
1. Re-center the scope reticle (see Centering of the Reticle on page 8).
2. Attach bore sighter, or remove bolt and visually boresight rifle.
3. Look through the scope. If the reticle appears way off center on the
bore sighter image or when compared to the visually centered target
when looking through rifle’s bore, there may be a problem with the
bases or rings being used. Confirm correct use and proper orientation
of base and rings.
Grouping Problems
There are many issues that can cause poor bullet grouping.
1. Maintain a good shooting technique and use a solid rest.
2. Check that all screws on rifle’s action are properly tightened.
3. Be sure rifle barrel and action are clean and free of excessive
oil or copper fouling.
4. Check that rings are correctly torqued per the manufacturer’s
instructions.
5. Some rifles and ammunition don’t work well together—try
different ammunition and see if accuracy improves.
