[QUOTE="drkemmet, post: 1221924, member: 97055"] The last run of scopes mentioned talk only about glass. I believe vortex introduced the razor HD LH to compete in a certain class, and that is based on weight. On my rifle, I wanted glass that will not only be lightweight (I have a Cooper 92 in 6.5-284 weighing 5 lbs 12 oz) but since it is a long range cartridge (and a Cooper) I wanted long range glass. To fit that bill, very few scopes were available. Basically anything past the 18 oz range and certainly anything past 20 oz was out of the question. Why put a 30 oz NF on a sub 6 lb gun? My opinion after seeing through the glass on both Swarovski and Razor HD LH (none others outside my other "expensive" scopes, which I compared them to only because I had them to compare to. The posts earlier, (I forget by whom now and I'm too lazy to go back and check for a name) agree with my opinion perfectly. The Swarovski is a better scope. But the Razor HD LH is also a good scope for the money and for me will stay in my collection for a while. It is on a custom rem700 223 I use for thinning prairie dogs by the hundreds. I appreciate everyone's opinions, but it seems as if there is a lot of bias out there and people surely love their favorites. Interesting thread and thank you. Lindell [/QUOTE]
