Questions and answers for the Vortex Razor HD LHT 4.5-22x50mm field eval- Here


Edit to make this the Q&A thread. The eval is now it’s own thread.

I enjoy reading your scope test threads. Looking forward to this one as well to see how it holds up.

In for this one.....

LOL. I brought up the tree and 10 Mils in the tract thread when they were asking about a hunting reticle. As Form has stated, we don’t need a reticle like that.

As long as it looks cool on the Gram and gets likes...

Love this stuff. There are far too many WTF reticle choices for hunting scopes these days.

This will be good for sure I can't wait for this one...

There should be a pool on when it will fail. Form, are you going to put the vortex sticker in the back window of your truck during the evaluation period?

My guess is it will perform in line with the rest of the Japan made scopes.

Tagging in, I have one of these on backorder. I really like the 3-15 I have.

I have one of these as well, so it will be interesting. Likely be mounted on a .17 Hornet......maybe I will need that 10 mil wind hold so wouldn't have a hard life on that, but could also finish up on a .308.

I wonder if it will last longer than the Optika. If it proves to be durable I think Vortex will sell a lot of them.

Just mounted one of these on my 300 wsm. Like it so far but looking forward to review.

Reticles and hunting scopes, don’t get me started…

Does the entire christmas tree light up, or is it just the center dot like on the 3-15 ?

Just a fyi, my Viper HS had a very stiff power ring, almost couldn't move it when cold outside. Vortex worked on it and it's better but still stiff.

I’m just wondering how do we as readers quantify the quality of your interpretation of this design versus the other LHT optics that you have opined. Do you have some additional insights that will help differentiate this design over the previous iterations?

Because it is SFP to FFP? Does design change constitute modification of specific lenses to achieve a different magnification range, or the arrangement of erector (SFP/FFP)?

I ask these questions because when I evaluate this specific model and the forthcoming results I want it to be as solid of a basis as possible. From an initial review the LHT 50mm obj. seems to share the same length, tube diameter, objective size, and within an ~1oz.

Thank you, Form.
