[QUOTE="JTB, post: 2219385, member: 97196"] I have several VX5HDs and swore I would not purchase another Vortex years ago but the LHT peaked my interest based on features and positive reviews. The only reticle I like in the VX5HD is the numbered impact-29 and for some reason they want a few hundred more for it so I went with the LHT 3-15x42 because of the HSR-5i reticle. The only things I don’t like on the LHT are how the rev stop limits the amount of elevation adjustment and it does not have a fast focus eyepiece. Have it on a new 270 WSM moving the 170 Bergers at 3100 so it will still dial past 1000 yards. Otherwise the glass is similar to the VX5HD and it is tracking consistently. The locking elevation turret (simply lift to turn) is nice it that it will lock at any elevation point. All of my VX5HDs have been flawless over the past few years so the Vortex durability will be the determining factor. From my limited experience with the LHT it looks like Vortex has a winner but both scopes are a very nice and a great value for around $1000. [/QUOTE]
