Are you one of those that likes to build...and then build something new? . I’d do a FTF transfer in a heart beat! You get that built locally? (MN)

Pretty happy with this setup. Nice and light and seems to shoot well.

Ha I do enjoy building them but not sure I could let this one go. Had the barrel swapped locally in MN, I did everything else.

Have you put some miles on the LHT yet? I’m on the fence between it or a VX5HD

I had short action customs do my last bolt and I like the pattern. List an additional oz of the fluted bolt by Kamp field.

Only have some range time with it so far, no actual hunting. Personally I like my Razor and my VX5HD the same, for my eyes one doesn't seem better or worse than the other.

How was the turn around time?

3 weeks, not bad. I left the bolt stainless as I plan to nitride it this winter

Man I'm considering a 3-15x50 LHT just because I like the G4...for a rifle that already has a 3.6-18x44 Mark 5HD on it. I'm wondering if the glass is close enough to make the 50mm a benefit in low light over the 44mm HD.

I have a razor hd lht 3-15x42 and comparing the glass to my mk5hd 3.6-18x44, the razor is noticeably better, in low light as well. I've read the mk5hd 3.6-18x44 glass is somewhat inconsistent and your sample may be better than mine. My only complaint with the razor, the parallax adjustment isn't set up for truly long range shooting. The mk5hd wins here. My parallax seems to be good out to 800y focus or so, after that things can get a bit weird. I may not have my diopter set correctly but I've messed with it a lot trying to tune it.

I'm gonna have to get one just to compare...the Leupold is stupid nice, but it would be nice to drop 1/2 a pound off the rifle and recoup $1k+.
