This review goes for the entire family of Vortex HD LHT scopes, because I've now purchased a variety of them for all of my rifles. Yup, I sold everything else. (Kudos on your insanely fast shipping, EuroOptic!) I've bought them in the 42mm and 50mm objectives, and in MOA and MRAD (at one point they were only available in MRAD, otherwise I'd have standardized on MOA, but I digress). Anyway, these scopes are LIGHT, BRIGHT and offer, honestly, much better optical quality than I'd have EVER expected at their price point. The zero-stop system that Vortex has put in these is idiot-proof... so much better than messing around with set screws that are too easy to over- or under-torque. Set your zero, pull the cap, drop in the ring, install the cap, DONE. They track very, very well. My range here in Wyoming goes out to 1125 yards, and first round impacts ain't no thang' with this scope mounted on a half-minute gun. First vs second focal plane for hunting can be debated and is largely personal preference, but after running these scopes for two seasons in the West, I prefer FFP, and love that these scopes offer it. All of the reticles in these scopes are perfect for what I need: a hunting reticle. They feature wind holds but not a busy Christmas tree like you may want in a competition scope. So I dial for elevation and hold for wind. I can say that between myself, my wife, and a friend of mine, there are three bull elk, seven deer and five pronghorn that could speak to the effectiveness of this scope at varying ranges. And a few prairie dogs. Don't get hung up on maximum magnification, if you're trying to decide between the 15x or the 22x. Both will serve you well and I'll say that I've never harvested at animal at 22x, even shooting out to 500 yards. We shoot the 15x at the 1125 yard steel all day long, though the 22x is a touch nicer for that specific purpose. Put this scope in a good set of rings and go enjoy your gun WITH CONFIDENCE like you haven't before. VALUE is what these scopes have in spades. One more note... if you're used to heavy scopes that make your rifle top-heavy, you'll be pleasantly surprised by how stable the same gun feels with a light scope. It won't be fighting you to tip from side to side.

I was looking for a lightweight hunting scope for a Dall sheep hunt in Alaska. I live in Texas and bought my gun here. The Gunsmith recommended it as a lightweight scope with good optics that tracks well.
I have been so happy with it, that I bought several more. Between the gun and the scope, I had a lot of confidence on my hunt. After harvesting the sheep, I shot the gun with my guide and made first round hits well beyond 1000 yards. Great value.

Very light scope! And bright! Looking forward to getting it hunting this fall.

I own several high dollar optics ( TT, S&B, ZCO, NF) and can honestly say this riflescope is one of the best values out there! Good glass and dependable mechanical performance.
A great choice for those who want a FFP scope on a lightweight hunting rifle.

Glass is clear and the tracking precise. The weight of the scope feels substantially lighter than other scopes I have in this magnification class. Replaced a NightForce and I truly like the vortex better.

Great glass and effective reticle. Very light for the package. Zeroed then ran it out to 800 yards, makes for a very light and efficient hunting rig.

Outstanding scope for long range shooting and hunting. Highly recommend. Put it on my CA 6.5PRC AND 300PRC.

This thing is the bomb!! Light weight, looks good, tracks very well what more could you want in a hunting scope. Like the covered windage knob and the illumination option. Doesn’t bleed like earlier models and lastly ohh the glass….crisp clear edge to edge with super sharp resolution. This thing is a real winner of an optic.
