I think the only thing that is the same or similar between the old HD LH and the new LHT, is the optics and the available reticles.
The new LHT has a 30mm main tube, illuminated reticle but I think only the center dot is illuminate not all of the reticle, exposed turret for elevation with a zero stop feature, and you can get one of the 3-15 models with a 50mm obj.
I have three Razor HD LH 3-15x42's on my small caliber rifles and they've been great little scopes, and that's coming from someone that isn't all that big a fan of Vortex. It'll be interesting to see if this new model is any better. I do like the idea of the exposed elevation turret though.

They have improved the glass as well.
I've ordered one. If it tracks these will be money. I love the locking turret as I have spun my Zeiss multiple times climbing around in trees. It checks all my boxes if it will hold up. When I get it I'm gonna throw it on the ground and find out.

The 5i reticle combined with a 30mm tube, and turrets that are made to dial will be a home run lightweight LR hunting scope.
Assuming it tracks like the other Razors, if it doesn't then it'll be a total bummer like the VX5's..

Here's a Jay Scott Outdoors podcast talking about all the specs of this rifle. My buddy has the Gen 1 and it's pretty slick. Might have to pull the trigger on this one if I find another rifle.

Would like to see a side by side comparison between the LHT and VX-5hd

Just wish it had the EBR-2C reticle option.
Just got one. Has the best locking zero stop turret I have ever used. Gonna be a game changer for western hunting.

I had the old LH 3-15 and just got the new LHT 3-15. I really like that the ocular end is much the same as the old LH. Very easy to get behind and a nice full eye piece. The elevation turret, zero stop and lock are all very nice and straight forward. Glass is easily as good as the LH if not better. The worst thing about the LH for me was the mush feel while adjusting the turrets. The LHT is better. Thank God.
