@Formidilosus If you want more samples, you can test mine. However, I'm in Arizona and I imagine driving to me isn't practical. I don't mind shipping it to you though. If you're willing to run it through all the same tests again, i would take you up on the offer of new scope if it passes. More specifically, I'll cover the difference of a Trijicon Tenmile.
Not because I don't believe what you are saying though. I think it's likely that it will fail. Passing would be like winning the lottery.
I purchased the razor LHT 4.5-22 for use on a 308 AR, and the illumination cut out every 2nd - 4th shot. I sent it in to vortex and they swapped out the illumination chip and battery. They impact tested and said it travels and holds true.
I mounted a SWFA 5-20 before sending in the LHT and haven't remounted the LHT. It's been sitting unused in a box. Less than 50 rounds through it. No field use. Between your testing and my experience, I'm just not confident in this model.
So rather than me doing sub par testing, I see more value in your process. I trust you would be honest with the results. Between the content, the discussions, and all the question answering you do here. I don't see why else you would do all of this if not to help out and provide data for others to use. Let me know if you're up for it. I know this is time consuming stuff. I appreciate all the information you and Ryan provided this community.
To anyone that has had positive experiences with this scope and would like a second one, I'm happy to sell it to you for half price after the test. Regardless of the result. We can even send it to vortex afterwards and let them use it as a "Shake Weight" around the office.
