[QUOTE="packgoatguy, post: 2459162, member: 27192"] I agree that locking turrets are very useful. Years ago my wife missed a nice buck when she carried the rifle on her left side and the windage dial on the PST gen1 spun. However, nowadays, I either put a strip of tape around turrets, or use a neoprene cover. Either option is a working work around, and we haven't had spun dials since. I have on the other hand experienced some zero shifts under less-than abusive circumstances. The problem with zero shift, is I have no warning... but at least I have a visual reference if a dial spins. As I've considered a similar dilemma, the closest scope options to come close to your criteria are the 1. Trijicon ten mile (has all the features of the lht, except it's 3 ounces heavier) but Trijicon claims to do drop testing and vortex does not. 2. Swfa 3-9x42, only 19 oz, no locking turrets or side focus, 3. Nx8 (2.5-25 or 4-32) 28oz, so 8-9 oz heavier than lht, but meets all the other criteria and doubles as a spotting scope ;-) If there are any others out there proven to hold zero... I'd love to hear about it. [/QUOTE]
