RZR Zero Stop Adjustment

Vortex Razor 5–20x50 riflescopes incorporate
the RZR Zero Stop feature. After the
rifle is sighted in, the RZR Zero Stop
allows fast, easy return to the original
zero point when large multi-revolution
elevation corrections have been dialed
into the riflescope.

Without a zero stop, the shooter must pay very careful
attention when dialing large corrections needing multiple
revolutions of the elevation knob. If the shooter loses track of
the number of revolutions, the original zero point may become
lost. Because of the RZR Zero Stop, the elevation knob on
Vortex Razor scopes can be quickly spun back to the original
zero without having to carefully count revolutions. Once the
RZR Zero Stop is set, the elevation knob will stop turning at
the original zero point when being returned from a temporary
elevation correction. Learn how to adjust the RZR Zero Stop
in the Bore Sighting and Range Sight-in sections.

Variable Power Adjustments

The Vortex Razor HD 5–20 x 50 riflescope uses a variable
intensity reticle illumination system to aid in low light
performance. To activate the illumination, rotate the
adjustment knob in a clockwise direction. 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 setting (11) is visible in the daytime, depending on
the background color. Settings below 11 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.

Illumination Adjustments

Turret Rotation

Vortex Razor riflescopes incorporate the Radius Bar to
visually assist in keeping track of
turret rotations. By watching the
position of the bar while making
elevation adjustments, the shooter
is able to quickly track full, half
and quarter rotations. To get the
most benefit from the Radius Bar,
the “0” mark on the turret must be
indexed with the zero reference line on turret post.

1. Unscrew the outer cap with a coin.

2. Remove the CR2032 battery.

3. Replace with a new CR2032 battery.
