Product Overview
Born from the demands of the world's most elite operators, the AMG® 1-10x24 was conceived to meet a standard that didn't exist, until now. Compact enough to run on carbines fully equipped with thermal attachments, lasers, red dots, and backup irons — tough enough to survive what crushed everything else. Patented internals and structural innovations mean every ounce is engineered with purpose.
At just 8.4 inches and 18.8oz, the AMG is both the shortest and the lightest 1-10x FFP LPVO in this range — genuinely fitting short-barreled carbines and freeing up rail space that longer, heavier optics simply can't match. Class-leading HD optical system delivers stunning resolution and field of view, while dual-zero, toolless capped turrets allow fast, reliable switching between two stored zeros — for suppressed versus unsuppressed loads, or short versus long-range ammunition.
Engineered, machined, and assembled in the USA to micron-level tolerances, the AMG uses a 34mm tube with a genuinely daylight-bright illuminated EBR-9 MRAD reticle — 11 intensity levels split between nine daylight and two night-vision settings. Argon gas purged and O-ring sealed, it's built for superior fogproof and waterproof performance in the most extreme conditions.
Key Features
213mm (8.4in) and 533g (18.8oz) — genuinely the most compact flagship option available.
The only model in this entire LPVO lineup engineered, machined, and assembled domestically.
Store and switch between two zeros — suppressed/unsuppressed or short/long-range loads.
9 daylight settings plus 2 dedicated night-vision settings.
Vortex's most advanced optical system, apochromatic glass, XR Plus coatings.
Fast transitions, low profile to avoid snags.

Turret configurations vary across the range. Most models use capped turrets to help prevent accidental adjustment, while adjustment graduations and total travel differ by model and reticle configuration. "Daylight-bright" illumination — genuinely visible in direct sunlight, functioning like a red dot at 1x — is explicitly confirmed by Vortex for the Razor and AMG lines; other models offer illuminated reticles that are daylight-usable but not marketed with this specific claim.
Reticle & Sight Picture
The illuminated EBR-9 MRAD reticle sits in the First Focal Plane, maintaining accurate holdovers and ranging references at every magnification setting across the full 1x to 10x range — genuinely useful for competitors and tactical shooters who need consistent precision without mental conversion between zoom levels.
At 1x, the illuminated centre dot functions like a red dot for fast, both-eyes-open shooting. Illumination offers 9 daylight brightness settings plus 2 dedicated night-vision settings — the only model in this range to offer NV-specific illumination alongside its confirmed daylight-bright capability.
