[QUOTE="Hand Skills, post: 2446668, member: 103303"] LRHS and Razor LHT have both been rock solid for me. My only complaints are; LRHS: -no zero lock. This has never posed an issue for me in practice. -a bit long and chunky. They make a light rifle feel top heavy. I prefer the 3-12x model and don't have any 4.5-18's anymore. Have not tried the LRHS2. LHT: -have one on a Tikka right now. Balances significantly better than the LRHS for me on a light rifle. (Weighs 8lbs all up) -mag ring is stiff, especially when cold. Aftermarket throw lever is a necessity. -illum is a little hoaky. It works, but too bright for night use and washes out before it becomes day bright. Fine for twilight though, as long as the battery is charged. Seems to kill batteries fast... I went through 3 batteries in one winter. Now I put a piece of scotch tape on the positive terminal, and remove the tape whenever I need illumination, which is very rare. Sounds like you are on the right track, good luck on your hunt! [B]Edited to add:[/B] Just noticed your rifle weighs 7.4lbs. In my experience, the LRHS balances really nice at that weight. Total weight will be right around 9lbs w/ scope. [/QUOTE]
