Jakelly,

good info, thanks. I did notice the 4.5-18 seemed a bit long - almost cartoon-ish. My main concern was sensitive eyebox at 18x, but it doesn't sound like an issue.

I think I'll be picking one of these up in the next few weeks. I recently did a review on the 4-16 F1 ATACR for Len over on LRH that will publish next month and really liked the scope. I figured the LRHS checked most of the boxes of the ATACR at about $1k less (and the 30mm tube is a preference over the 34mm of the ATACR for my application).

I'll be interested to compare the LRHS to my 2.5-10x42 NXS as well. If you have the time, please post up a pic of your 4.5-18 mounted up on your rifle. Thanks again.
