whats the difference between the earlier gen 1 and gen 2? if it has a JM-1 reticle does it mean its a gen 2?

My understanding was the gen 1 razor scopes are now the viper but I could be wrong. The JM-1 reticle is one of the Gen ll reticles. I highly recommend the 1-6x24. I put it on my LWRC 5.56 and it is phenomenal paired with the larue tactical qd mount. Im going to buy another one when I receive my larue predatobr .308. The scope is crystal clear and the amount of zoom is perfect and the red dot gets as bright as you need it to and Vortex has the lifetime warranty that covers everything. You can't go wrong.

I'm not really sure... but the red dot that in the scope is perfect and it shows up in the day time very well. Love the scope!

I'm not positive I believe your right they are first and 2nd generations. Hope that helps. Love mine!

My Sweet 17 does not have a mil-dot reticle. It has the standard cross-hairs that appear thick, then abruptly change to thin in the center. I like it.

The legs can spread further apart on the gen2, but it really is a tall stick. It can get down to 24", but because the legs are close to horizontal, the bipod flexes a bit and it is difficult to adjust the height to small increments like 27" or 30". If I remember correctly, gen1 has one tall bipod and one short bipod. My vote is to get one of the gen1 bipods that suit the shooting height and skip the gen2 for sitting positions.

This is 1". Maybe the one with the illuminated reticle is larger. Vector America Cerakote vacoating.com

This version does not have NV capacity. There is no button to turn it on. Unless your going to be actually buying gen 2 or better night vision I would not worry. For Gen 1+ night vision the scope would be a better deal. When it comes to everything else they are solid and will take a lot of punishment. One more thing the buttons are recessed in so depending on the thickness of your fingers or gloves they can be a bit of a hassle.

2nd Gen 360. The 1st Gen is rectagularish, 2nd is square like this. You can find out by simply looking at the top of your 360.

I dont know for sure. I do know that i bought mine after they were unavailable for quite a while. If you can tell me how to distinguish gen 1 from gen 2, Id be happy to check for you. I can tell you that im a really happy camper. I like these. I use them for spectator sports mostly. Also tried the Minox and these were a better fit.

Yes they had Gen 2 on the package. I use them as backup sight to my optical sight.

Yes, it is Gen2. Mine came with the grind almost right up to the handle. The old ones had a much larger gap.

Joshua, there are such subtle changes in these guns you would be better off to You Tube Glock generation changes. Most of the changes were in the grip texture and not so much the gun. First gens had little to no stippling on the grip. The second gen had stippling on the front and rear of the grip. The third has stippling all the way around the grip. Again, check you tube. Hope this helped.

Mine was real, don't know about the one ur getting. There are ways to determine though, u can look online to see the difference, one thing u'll notice is that if u focus on the reticle, it is blurry, it is meant for quick reaction and works with both eyes open. Reticle will come clear when U actually look at the target and not focus on the reticle. I did end up buying the 3x magnifier and when u put that on, it makes it clear, but the 3x is for long range, both eyes open won't work with the 3x magnifier. This is ideal for close range only.

Not sure that the 1st and 2nd generations are different. It fit mine perfectly (I believe was 2nd gen - when they stopped selling the 8gb....)

Main difference is the glass quality/coating. The VX-2 has crystal clear glass and the light gathering capability of the VX-2 is superior; for a 40mm glass, I was pleasantly surprised at how much light this scope draws in. Also, I believe the windage/elevation knobs are different; the VX-2 has 1/4 click MOA adjustments...can't remember what the VX-1 has, but they are different. Hope that answered your question, but Google would probably give you more info than this old school shooter ;).

6727 is the one with the BDC reticle - read the product description: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004MY7L6G/ref=ox_ya_os_product

Yes the one that I received had the cree xp-g2 LED. You will know it is a gen 2 if the sticker for the cree xp-g2 is on the box.A side note, if you use a lithium ion 14500, you can increase the max output to over 200 lumens but read about using a lithium ion battery in this flashlight first.

I had the same question before I purchased this scope, only I was looking for a MOA reticle. I was assured that it would be a MOA reticle but when it arrived it turned out to be MRAD.
