Vortex Razor LHT Unintentional drop test

Curious to see your results of remounting. That much zero shift feels like the mounting system moved. You hit the front of the scope, so maybe it got pushed back?

I'd also be curious to see what the scope body looks like. Roll it on a couple 2x4 (or similar) to see if the center is still concentric with the bells.

check carefully to make sure those rings did not crack in the clamp area.

Do you have the bedding insert and your hnt26 bedded?

I ran out real quick and checked a few things. There is no evidence of damage to the rings, or indication that the scope slipped. The chassis took a pretty good hit.




I did a quick re-zero last night. Again disregard group size, these were shot kneeling with a tripod.

Group #1 was double checking the quick zero.

Group #2 was shot after re-mounting the chassis.

Group #3 was shot after re mounting the scope rings to the rail.





There was a definite shift when re-mounting the rings. I could also feel the scope flex when loosening the fasteners and when re tightening. So something is up there.

Negative on that.

You might want to purchase one of these and have you action bedded in.

Went out yesterday afternoon to see if the tracking is still reasonable. Shot one round. Dialed up a mil, shot another, dialed down a mil, shot another, dialed back up a mil shot another.

Had two nice groups. So it looks like the elevation is still tracking. This will still be going back to Vortex, something moved a bunch in the scope for that shift.

For what it is worth, I have a LHT 3×15 on one of my coyote guns. Last winter it fell from my shoulder and landed on a rock pile. Shot it the next day and it never moved. I actually like the scope, even though it is sfp. I do have a few rokslide approved scopes also!
