My experience with Vortex so far has just kind of been, ehhh ok, but in their defense, I've only had their middle of the road HS and HS-T scopes so I'm hoping this Razor HD LH 3-15x42 changes my opinion.
I have a non HD VX6 and a Zeiss HD5 to compare it to so I'll hopefully have a better idea of this new Vortex come next week when it arrives.

This is the one and only Vortex scope I own. I was hesitant to take the plunge due to all the warranty repairs it seems I hear/read about. But so far I've been very impressed with this optic. The HD LH scopes are supposed to have the same glass as the Razor HD series and are made in Japan vs Pacific Rim, which is where most of their more budget-friendly optics are made. Make what you want of that.
I'm definitely interested to hear how it stacks up against the VX6 and HD5. The new VX-5 HD has peaked my interested, so I'm sure that will be in the mix when I need another optic.

Are you using the HS4 or G4-BDC reticle?
Couldn't agree with you more on the lit reticle, it would literally knock this scope out of the park to have G4-BDC with something similar to the FireDot.

This is my understanding of them as well, hopefully, this holds true and I'm pleasantly surprised with the optics and it has no issue with tracking or holding zero.
Since this is going on a little CZ 527 in 17 Rem I definitely like that it's considerably lighter than most of my other scopes.

I'll be putting this on a Varmint model CZ 527 in 17 Rem.
A friend of mine has one. It’s seems really nice to me. He has it on a heavy barreled 243. Seems like it would be better on a different platform but regardless it’s a nice optic.

I can't wait to get this thing because if it turns out as well as everyone says, I may have to get another one. These should make for a nice setup on the little CZ 527's.

Mr. UPS dropped this scope off a couple hours ago and I was able to do a little playing around with it. First thing I noticed, compared to all my other scopes, this thing is light. As mentioned previously I have a new Zeiss HD5 5-25x50 that I've yet to mount and my 20-250 has a regular (not the HD version) VX6 3-18x50 sitting on it so I was able to sit all three side by side and play around with them doing a very unscientific comparison. I had all three set at 10X.
Clarity, I'll be honest, I can't really say one is any better than the other as they all three were pretty darn clear.
The one area there was a noticeable difference, was brightness. This kind of surprised me but the Vortex Razor was definitely brighter.
It'll be interesting to see how they compare, side by side, once I get them mounted on guns but for now, I'm thinking this Vortex Razor HD LH is going to be a keeper.
