Rifle Scopes New vortex razor lh 30mm tube?
- Thread starter brix8984
- Start date
To be fair I think they just recently added that option on leupolds site and I havent personally seen any in stores yet.
The mil-Leupold came up in a recent thread. Somebody said optics planet had some non-catalog VX5HD or VX6HDs in mil.
edit: that thread was actually earlier in this very thread. I’m gettin’ old.

light weight mil with good glass!
I’m excited but I’m also terrified I’m not going to be able to see the reticle in low light

Don't suppose you could dangle any carrots for other potential releases in 2020?
Anything from the PST or Gen 2/3 Razor lines that may be worth waiting for, should I be on the market for a couple of new scopes?
I've got a long standing search on ebay looking for another Vortex HD LH w/G4 reticle; got a notification today of the following listing:
Vortex HD LHT 3-15 G4i reticle
The 30mm tube threw me off until I saw this thread and realized it appears to be a new model = looking forward to a future purchase

I just bought a SFP nightforce nxs off the hide this morning before I realized Vortex was going to drop these so soon. Whoops.
It doesn’t show a weight. We will see I guess

www.impactguns.com This will be on my hunting rifle for sure. It looks like they are SFP and under 20oz like I figured and hoped they would be. Probably gonna pick up two.Vortex Razor LHT, HSR-5i MRAD, 3-15x42mm, 30mm Tube, Black

Mil adjustments, 15x top end, less than 20oz is all I wanted. So yes my statement holds true for me. Let me guess, you are one of the guys that won’t buy a scope because of the color.
It could be a duplex for all I care. Mil adjustments when I need to dial and crosshairs and slight hold for the vast majority of shots hunters take.
Hot damn, that looks like the G4 with an illuminated dot, credit card is gonna get a workout..
found an eBay listing with a small pic of the reticle. Doesn’t looks like a Christmas tree...
They got the razor gen ii and amg for the ffp with the tree. I would wager most hunters dont want that. Vortex probably figured the same. They may have one up their sleeve though. We will see.
BOO. SFP is for fuds. FOV numbers are pretty disappointing if thats not a misprint.
I think the target audience is inside 300-400 and most wind holds would be minimal
Nah. SFP is for guys who actually hunt and want to see their reticle.
its all personal preference of course but hunters overwhelmingly shoot SFP and wouldnt change.
The sfp does bother me A lot. I would rather have non adjustable turrets and a good reticle in ffp
I think you are right because that target audience you described is about 99 out of 100 people. The FFP for hunting guys are all members of the Hide. ?
Glad if it’s SFP. No possible way a 3x with a 50mm objective has a 24’ field of view, so that’s a misprint
Tons of long range hunters use SFP scopes even if people can’t believe it
Edit* I’m willing to try it on a ffp but if I can’t see it in low light at minimum mag it’s not going hunting

Objective size is not a factor in FOV.

Are we sure it’s not FFP? One of the eBay listings for the 3-15x50 with two reticle images has them at two very different sizes.
The big question is what is the optical difference between this and the pst gen 2...
3-15 pst 2 is 28 ounces
lht is 19 ounces
44mm versus 42mm
3-15 pst 2 is 28 ounces

Cool, I’ll amend that to a 3-15x42 scope in 2020 will not have a 24.6’ fov at 3 power.Objective size is not a factor in FOV.

3-15x42 hd lh is 35.8’ that reduction would be insane

Uh oh, looks like impact guns listing might have been premature. 404 It be gone, said the link. LOL.
still a handful on eBay.Even has quantities available for sale
Would be a lot more convincing point had vortex not mistakenly listed the FOV on their uhd binos way small on their last big releaseNeat.
Neat. Still doesn't mean shit coming from....not Vortex.

G4 with illuminated dot? I like it.
This is definitely going onto my list of stuff to test.

Again, looking at the reticle pics, it appears FFP. No listings I've seen mention SFP or FFP? I've had a G4 LH, and it looks like this first one from the eBay listing:
While the listing also has this, which looks like a FFP at highest mag:

That’s not one of the reticles I saw. Not saying it isn’t but there was one that had more horizontal lines. Almost like a simplified ebr 2
Yep what I posted if the G4i BDC in the 3-15x50, you saw the HSR-5i in the 3-15x42. I'm sure both models will have both reticles.
I need to learn to read better
I don't hate that. I'm looking forward to the actual release.
It’s fun to speculate isn’t it. Lol. When I play the lotto once a year, I always have the money spent in my mind.
Hell I put myself down for two in this thread already. If the scope is FFP then I think they dropped the ball and missed the largest hunting market out there. They will lose my two. Of course that’s all speculation. ?
Maybe so. That would please most everyone right there. What will we talk and bitch about when the scope is actually out?
I'm hoping for FFP too, if it's not, it still checks a lot of boxes. Definitely going to pick one up.
I'll just keep buying the discontinued Bushnell LRHSi, when I lose 30 lbs I'll worry about a lighter scope. Actually I probably won't as I'll be a lot fitter.
My scope for my 300 win is most likely decided.
I will be interested in the pros and cons vs the pst gen 2
