[QUOTE="112Savage, post: 2174840, member: 38801"] I have both the Leupold VX5 3-15x44 HD ZL2 and the Vortex LHT 3-15x50. The vortex is mounted on a 24" 280AI and without the zerostop installed had no problems dialing to 1160 yds with 160gr Accubonds. I have since switched to the 175 ABLR so I should be able to go further than a lightweight rifle will allow. With the zerostop inserted you get slightly less than two revolutions of the turret. I actually prefer the vortex to the leupold due to the illumination/reticle combo and an apparent increase in magnification compared to the leupold even though they are both advertised as 15x. I will say about the repeatability, I have spent more time with the leupold and it has been very consistent I have had some trouble with the vortex LHT but I found some other issues that may have not been the scope's fault. I have the older vortex razor LH on another rifle and it has been solid to 1017yds dialing. For mounts, I like both DNZ and Talley lightweights, I like the DNZ's slightly better [/QUOTE]
