    Needing to put a scope on a AR15 that I had CLE build for me on new upper parts that I had sent to them. 16 inch Kreiger with the CLE chamber that I want to use for coyote hunting. I had the original in the past that was illuminated. I know these are not but it is not a deal breaker. I liked the scope and wondering how much better the new glass is or if anything else changed on the scope.
     
    I had one of the original LRHS models and sold it to upgrade to the LRHS-2. I would say that there is a marginal improvement in glass quality (less CA and slightly sharper). Having owned both, I don't know that I would make the small improvement in glass quality the sole reason to upgrade.

    For real world use like coyote hunting, I feel like other features such as an illuminated reticle would give you more of an advantage than slightly better glass. Just my 2 cents based on the many years of coyote hunting I did when I lived in South Dakota.
