I'll point out that the LRHS and LRTS are two peas in a pod, with slightly different makeup. The LRHS/LRTS/DRMII/DMRII Pro/XRSII have been dead-nuts reliable for me for thousands of rounds and a bunch of cooked barrels. I think that first LRHS you had was an anomaly. In fact, your failure and the one reported by Akbob5 above are the only two cases of LRHS/LRTS failures that I can recall. Having said that, I much prefer the 3-12x version to the 4.5-18x, but they're getting pretty tough to find these days.

Hint.(grin) It woulda been a BUNCH warmer/fuzzier,had they simply related what they found. Hell...even Reupold does that. Hint.................

Would you spend $1000 on an LRHS? My finger is not on the pulse of the US market for these scopes, but I have paid $1000+ Canuck Bucks several times.

Haha, if the 2-12x had a reticle that extended to the center and was not MIC, I'd probably own a bunch of them by now. But that's just me and my hang-ups.

The 2-12's reticle,is simply sensational for Killing. None of my Anschutzeseseses or Vudoohoo's wear one,for KYL.

I'd shoot more,but have PPV brewing. I'm not sure,what Critter could possibly "escape"?!?

As to Trijicon Accu's,it's tough to swoon SFP,schit reticles,50mm obj,a minimum of 27 ounces and only 60 MOA on the erector. Hint. Fhuqking LAUGHING!..............
