Born from the standards of elite military units, the Vortex AMG® 1-10×24 delivers high-power magnification and optical clarity to compact, short-barreled carbines — leaving rail space for thermal attachments, lasers, offset red dots, and backup irons.
British SAS, Royal Marines, and U.S. SOCOM units set the baseline for zero retention, optical performance, and extended operational durability. Over years of testing, Vortex® engineers pushed the AMG® 1-10×24 against those standards until it exceeded every requirement.
The result is the most advanced optical and mechanical system Vortex® has engineered in an LPVO.
“The project started when the UK Ministry of Defense asked for an optic that didn’t exist and nobody else would make.
Over years of iterations, failed prototypes — hundreds of lenses turned to dust through recoil testing — we refined every detail through connections at UK Ministry of Defense and U.S. Special Operations Command until it met their combined expectations.”

FEATURES
- CLASS LEADING HD OPTICAL SYSTEM – Stunning resolution and exceptionally wide field of view.
- TOOLLESS TURRETS – Fast, tool-free zero with reliable return and micro adjustment.
- DUAL ZERO TURRETS – Switch zeros for suppressed, unsuppressed, super or subsonic, light or heavyweight loads.
- LIGHTWEIGHT, COMPACT BUILD – Just 8.4″ and 18.8 ounces, fits short-barreled carbines and frees up the rail for attachments.
- LOCKING FAST-FOCUS DIOPTER (PATENTED) – Locks tight to keep your reticle sharp.
- LOCKING ILLUMINATION DIAL – Aggressively knurled for control. Lock prevents shifts from snags and transport.
- INTEGRATED THROW LEVER (PATENTED) – 120° throw for faster transitions, low profile to avoid snags.
- MADE IN U.S.A. WITH U.S. AND GLOBAL PARTS – Engineered, machined, and assembled in the USA. Held to micron level tolerances.
Inside, the glass-etched, Illuminated EBR-9 MRAD reticle reflects the same mindset. Designed for tactical and combat shooters, it runs fast up close and precise past 1,000 yards. The grid stays clean for quick corrections, and the ranging marks make distance calls simple: 3, 4, 5, and 6 correspond to hundreds of yards and shoulder-width targets at each range.
