Vortex Razor LHT 4.5-22x50 or Razor 3-15x50

[JGomez]

How's it going, I am looking for a scope for my new Savage 110 Ultralite 7prc. I had originally bought a Viper PST Gen2 and while I like the glass. I decided on replacing it for something with locking turrets and capped windage. Anyone have any likes or dislike between these two. I know one is FFP and one is SFP that doesnt really matter to me. I am just looking for something that will work well from 100-500yds in varying environments. I don't need it to be perfect in any particular environment. I appreciate the feedback, I am not going to lie with all the selections it can be a bit overwhelming.

I have 2 of each. If 500 is your max, I would go 3-15.

The field of view on 3 is notably easier for finding animals in brush and I’m not a huge fan of 22 power from most field positions so it only really applies if I can get prone.

One area that the 22power can be really useful is something like a Doe (not antlerless) Antelope tag where you need to verify the facial colors in a herd while animals are constantly moving.

Thread 'Vortex Razor HD LHT 4.5-22x50mm Field Eval'

Feb 14, 2022

Ryan Avery asked if I would review this scope in the same vein as the Meopta Optika 6 and Tanget Theta evaluations and I agreed. I get queried about these scopes almost as much as any, and even though I have seen poor performance from the prior LHT’s, this is a different design and will be looked at with objectivity.

This thread will be similar to the others; focusing almost exclusively on correct function, and less on looks or “glass”. Those topics are beaten to death and they have little to do with use as an aiming device. It will be mounted correctly on a rifle/rifles that...

Thread 'Vortex Razor LHT Unintentional drop test'

Nov 13, 2025

I dropped my hunting rifle with a Razor LHT 4.5-22 off a tripod and it landed on a rock. It was about 3 feet high.

Any guesses to how bad the zero shifted?

I will check zero tonight after I get out of the woods and report back.

For your reading pleasure.

Do you need a locking elevation turret or would you be okay if it was just a zero stop?

Reason I ask is because you could get a SWFA 3-15 Gen 2 that has a capped windage and has a zero stop. Has a better reputation for durability for a few ounces of weight penalty.

Could also do the Maven 1.2 (2.5-15 ffp), it has a similar capped windage and zero stop. Also much more likely to retain zero in the field.

I could shoot further just wouldn't see myself doing so anytime soon. I just would be annoyed if the opportunity presented itself to hunt something further and I needed to get a new scope to do so. Would you see any significant drawback in purchasing either since you have two of each?
