Vortex Razor LHT

[steve123]

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

Yes I know.

Except Razor is a flagship labeling. I had a old 1st gen Razor 5-20 that was pretty good so I expected similar and knew the G3 Razors were way better so I assumed which was a mistake.

I bet if a vote were took there'd be a bunch of us that would pay the money for a Razor LHT upgraded appropriately to reflect the line it should have represented to begin with. Put good turrets on it, a better reticle design, daylight bright illume, and it'd be not what it is now.

They are bringing out just what you’re asking for 4-24x44 Razor. Should be released any day now

Lets hope it comes out in a more accepted overall form.

There are already pics out of it and a whole thread about it. Looks like a little brother to the 6-36 but with a capped windage and is about 31 ounces.

Not exactly what I'm looking for because of the weight but I like the size of it for the mag range and as long as the 6x ratio, while being so "compact", doesn't compromise the IQ much, well good on Vortex. But I'm sure many will want that scope.
Any specifics on the reticle yet?
Daylight bright illume?

Been shooting my March DFP shorty 1-10 a lot lately and the poor thing doesn't pull of 10x well which is why I haven't bought their DFP 1.5-15, although it's the only scope that is close enough for what I want to interest me.

I still like my Helos G2 2-12 but I'd really like a higher quality version as well as more magnification on top because 2x hardly gets used. Like a 2.2x-13.2x38 would be cool but lighter weight and some other changes.

I'll keep watching and waiting.

My 3-15 has glass at least on par with the gen1 razors. And I feel like my gen2 is decent step up from the gen1.

I like the reticle. I hope this trend of obscuring view with a big ass grid is going to come to a end.
