Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics Vortex Razor HD LHT

Looks like some models leaked tonight, 3-15x42 and 3-15x50. Weight on the 42mm is 19.2 oz, MIL/MIL, locking exposed locked elevation, capped windage, illuminated version of Ilya’s G4 reticle, parallax adjustment. Could be a hit if they track. Loved the G4 reticle but it did need illumination IMO, and now voila. Cautiously optimistic.

Search “Razor LHT” on eBay to see reticle pics. Here is one web page with info:

For the life of me I don’t know why Nightforce can not offer a similar or improved hunting reticle in the nxs compacts.

I agree that the new razor sounds like a hit. I hope it tracks too.

Wait a couple years and you should be able to find them on closeout everywhere for $399.

Spoke with Vortex today and it launches tomorrow 👍

I have some concerns about illumination and reliable tracking at that weight. Having said that, I should have two in hand tomorrow to fondle.

Too bad the G4 reticle subtensions aren’t in even 0.5 and 1 MRAD increments.

That is how I originally sketched it up for them, but I think they are trying to maintain the same dimensions in all of their holdover reticles. I think they just drew it up in mrad because the turrets are mrad.

Two of my 1.5-8x32 HD LH scopes have the same subtensions, so I can live with that.

Actual FOV:

35.3' @ 100yds at 3x
7' @ 100yds at 15x
6.74 degrees 3x
1.34 degrees 15x

I hope they hold up in the field, looks like a good hunting optic on paper.

I have one en route... Got to see it in hand last fall and it looks good. The 42mm makes a lot more sense for my uses.

Japsn LOW?

Might have a use for one if tracks and tough. Within an ounce of NF 2-10 NXS and should mount easier on a long action.

These look almost perfect now if only they track like an SWFA they'll end up on all my hunting rifles

I'll be looking at the 3-15x50. It is easily one of the lighter weight 50mm objective scopes out there.

They lost me at SFP...

Received my x42 and x50 today. Will have some pics tomorrow for size comparisons.

I had some difficulty seeing the markings on the HD LH reticles but don’t seem to have that problem with these two.

Have just done a cursory fiddle phuuck with them so far and am reasonably happy.

Yep. I was almost there until that. I like the MRAD reticle for a simple hunting scope.

You and me both John.

We can never please all. This is why we need options.

Then again, options cost $=R&D more $$ to the consumer.

Makes me want one......
