Vortex Razor LHT

I don't "see" the IQ in my LHT 5-22 as anything special, heck the IQ in my Athlon ETR 15-60 BR scope is noticeably better. Well to be fair this ETR actually does have nice glass for it's price.
The poorly done LHT turrets shouldn't be in a scope of this price range and 6 mils per turn is such a head scratcher. I didn't even notice that was a thing until after the scope arrived and yes I research things more critically now.
The illume is almost daylight bright but it really should be a notch or two brighter to make out the reticle on low power, speaking of which the mil reticle isn't an impressive design anyway.
The rest is of the controls are normal.
Except it's pretty much the lightest scope in it's class which is why I bought mine and to be honest it's my least favorite scope on my least favorite light weight rifle. Translation - nope they don't get used much.
At least I got it at a decent price new from Liberty Optics right before Scott flew the coop.
I hate losing money so I'm kinda stuck with them at this point. Let's put it this way, I'd sell the scope first before I sold the rifle and the rifle has had a rough time in it's short existence.


I could have bought the March 4.5-28 instead at double the cost, thought saving the $ was the best decision at the time, but really wish I had gotten the March.
The designation Razor wasn't the best label to put on the LHT, at least to me.

It’s a Razor Light weight Hunting scope not designed for extreme range use but can double as an SPR type scope.
Most hunting shots are under 400 yards do
No more than 6 mils is generally needed

If it was built as tough and with all the features of a Gen 3 Razor it would look snd cost like a Gen 3 Razor

Great glass

Nearly 2.5 MILLION people have signed a petition supporting the ftard illegal alien responsible for the deaths of 3 people when he tried an illegal u-turn on a highway.

I watched the in-cab camera of this guy as he was trying this idiot u-turn. His expression does not change one bit as he realizes that something has just hit his trailer.

Unbelievable

Adding adjustable cheek to stock

Stock Doc was "the man" for aftermarket adjustable cheek piece upgrades. I've had LRI do a couple on complete builds with their own accessories and it was super well done. Might try them.

Looking at this now - tough to tell from their site - do they try to paint match the cut and sanded areas like some of their pics or leave it unpainted like other of their pics?

8.6 Blk reloading info

Depends on the twist rate. A 3 twist is limiting. My 3 twist could not take the same loads as my 6.5 twist with copper bullets...the 3 twist reached max with 2.5 grs Less powder with copper bullets...but it was a rough early Faxon 3 twist, also inaccurate.

I have not tried the 124 gr hammer in 8.6 blkout.

I use a bolt gun 6.5 twist with a 24" barrel, dropped the Faxon 8.6 blkout 3 twist is now a 375 Raptor with a 20" barrel.

My 8.6 blkout with 6.5 twist and hybrid cases shoots Barnes 160 gr at 2800 fps 200 Speer at 2600 fps.
The 350 Maker at 1800 fps with no blow up in 6.5 twist.
300 gr SMK at almost 2000 fps.
The little Maker 165 gr high velocity is for the 338 Spectre and limited ro 2100 fps but ive shot them to 2300 in the 338 ARC imp.
I haven't pushed it to 2800 in the 8.6 blk as it may come apart copper or not.

But I also load the worlds fastest 338 ARC improved at over 3700 fps.16" AR 15 6.5 twist.
The 338 ARC imp 16" AR 15 is about as good as a heavy AR 10, 8.6 blk 3 twist, in a 12" barrel and will actually shoot many bullets faster, especially jacketed lead.

These light bullets go fast but have limited range...unlike a 160 gr tipped Barnes at 2800 fps.

I’m guessing the limited range is from the low bc bleeding off speed?

My idea would be to slow the twist down to maybe 9 or 10 twist since I don’t plan on shooting anything heavier than 185 grains.

Building this for hogs.

Vortex Razor LHT

NateVA said:
I had an LHT 4.5-22 in the past and its turrets were atrocious, but otherwise it was a solid enough scope. I felt the turrets on a new one the other day and they were still pretty bad but not nearly as bad as mine was years ago.

I much prefer the Maven RS1.2 as a hunting scope even if it's 5oz heavier. The downsides are horrible illumination bleed (I don't use it so not a big deal to me) and the turrets don't lock. The elevation is easy enough to turn that I think it should be locking. Other than those two annoyances I think it does the job of a hunting scope quite well.

The Athlon Helos BTR Gen 2 is 5 oz heavier too. I think I will go that way. Both locking turrets and especially 10 mils/turn do it for me.

Ukraine war Bullshit.

When the people who live in a place revolt against their government that is generally referred to as a rebellion, revolution, or at least an uprising.

That is very different from an invasion by people who do not live there. That you conflate the two further proves my point.

As far as I know the US government didn’t help them or support them in any way. Or, am I wrong about that?
