He must be thinking about the new HD LHT replacements for the discontinued HD LH.

That thread was from 2017.

Was he mistaken?

Kingston is so slow

My bad, I thought that was a recent comment in this thread. It wasn't clear that it was from 2017.

No worries; edited to clarify.
So the old ones were LOW and the new ones are not? I’m not up to speed on vortex at all so appreciate the education.

Both the LH HD and LHT are all made in japan. Whether that means LOW I don't know. I have a couple of the 1.5-8 and 2-10 and I can't say I really paid attention to how crisp the clicks are as I dont dial them, they are capped turrets. They have been easy to zero or change zero on, accurate enough I haven't had to do the Leupold dance when changing a zero its been reliable to change and moved pretty much whats advertised so they zero easily.

I do feel that optically the LH HD are a step up from say a VX3 and even a little better than a meopro 3-9x40, They are reasonably light and compact except the ocular is a little bulky. The 1.5-8 in particular is quite compact and is a nice scope for a compact rifle. One of mine is on a RCM rifle and it makes a very nice package.

All 4 of my LH HD's have the G4 reticle and I have to say I am liking it more and more for a short range reticle, Its very good in low light or where a bold cross hair is desired for rapid acquisition with the very heavy cross hairs and the fine dot works well enough for zeroing or group shooting.

As for hold over, I think a simple burris BP or Leupold LRD/or B&C is a little easier to work out drops for. The reference marks in LH HD G4 are spaced a little to far apart compared to the scopes that I typically use.

I have no experience with the LH HD 3-15, but I had read reviews and saw one on you tube where it didn't track perfectly. I do have one 3-15 LHT and so far so good, but I got it last fall and its been a snowy year and haven't really done much shooting and so haven't given it a work out yet. I have one more application for another, but would like to shoot the first 3-15 LHT a little before I commit to another.

The 2-10’s are gone ...

Tried to order 2-10x40 G4 BDC but looks like they are sold out. If anyone ordered one and changes their mind or wants the other reticle. Please let me know. Thanks, Mike

Wonder how many this thread accounted for?

I shoulda bought two. Only got one of each.

☹️

You can still get the 2-10 with the HSR-4 reticle for $429.

Anyone have first hand experience with that reticle. How is it in low light?

Can't say, ordered my first 1.5-8's today. I'll let you know when I have them in hand.

Based on my current sample of one 2-10 in hand my initial impressions are the Razor has better clarity all the way out to the edges and the Razor definitely wins in eye relief. I like the G4 BDC reticle in the open but I haven't had it in the woods yet - 99% sure there wont be a problem there. Not sure I love the reticle focus adjustment on the Razor and aesthetically they look "cheap" IMO. No deal breakers there.

I've got 10-11 Kahles 2-7x36s spread between 3 households now, safe to say they're a favorite and they aren't going anywhere. But they're going for stupid money these days and they aint getting any younger so I'm happy to have a couple Razors in the mix if they stand up over time.

⬆️👍


The hits, they just keep on coming!

Wish I was getting commission for all these sales!😂

It seems like the G4 reticle was highly preferred over the HSR-4. Why is that?

I’d like to know too. Anyone own one with the HSR4 reticle? If so, can you post a picture of the reticle looking through the scope? Is it bold enough for low light woods hunting?

Thanks,
Mike

Good question above, how bold is the subtensions on the HSR4 reticle, low light?

Spoke to a salesperson at Eurooptic. He said he uses and really likes the HSR reticle. I ordered one. Will post a review comparing the HSR and G4 reticle when I receive them.

Thanks
