I was looking for specs on these scopes and couldn't find the one I am looking for. Does anyone know if the apparent field of view is the same on the 3-15 LHT and the 4.5-22 LHT?

The Vortex Razor LHT 3-15x50 and the Vortex Razor LHT 4.5-22x50 have different field of view (FOV) ranges. Here are the specs:

- Razor LHT 3-15x50
- Field of View: 35.3 – 7.0 feet @ 100 yards
- Razor LHT 4.5-22x50
- Field of View: 23.5 – 4.7 feet @ 100 yards

Info is on Vortex site also. Listed under specifications for each scope. Has other info also if needed.
Apparent field of view isn't on there unless I am missing it.Info is on Vortex site also. Listed under specifications for each scope. Has other info also if needed.
It is listed under specifications. Scroll down on the link above to under where they show the scope with measurements and you will see specifications. Click on it and the drop down below will be shown.
That’s field of view, not apparent field of view.
Apparent is linear fov/magnification and is a function of the eye piece rather than the objective. The angle you are seeing vs the linear measurement at a prescribed distance.
So 35.3/3=11.767 and 7/15=0.467 degrees

Also curious. I don't see how it could be anything else. It's an objective data point that you can even measure yourself.
Real FOV is what the scope sees. Apparent FOV is Real FOV in degrees multiplied by magnification.
Apparent FOV determines is how big the image looks to your eye.

It’s something that is useless unless you want to play mathematician. When you are laying behind your scope are you figuring out the apparent FOV? No. You see what you see. Seeing as this is the first I heard of this super important specification and never needed it to hit what I was aiming at then that will be filed under useless info for me. You have fun with your calculations
That's what I wanted to know. Do both the LHT razors have a similarly smallish apparent field of view. Compared to the heavier scopes like the lrhs. Is it a function of the eye peice and ocular lens size also?
Useless unless I want to play mathematicians… or, you know, be able to actually compare a scopes specs as experienced by the shooter.It’s something that is useless unless you want to play mathematician.

Maybe you should go back to laying behind your scope instead of trying to offer advice on them since you can’t be bothered to learn about them.
I will do that as it’s much more fun anyways. Never needed apparent FOV so I am sure I will be just fine. Sorry I tried to help him. I won’t again.
Apparent field of view let's you compare how big the image looks between scopes without having them in hand.It’s something that is useless unless you want to play mathematician.

Your 8" phones screen has the same FOV as your 60" flat screen, and a 60ft Imax screen.
