The Vortex Optics LHT riflescope hits the sweet spot between magnification and weight. A maximum zoom of 22x will be sufficient for most realistic hunting situations. It is built with the quality, durability and reliability we have come to expect from Vortex Optics. If you are looking for a riflescope, look no further than the one I have selected for my own rifles.
The Vortex Optics LHT 4.5–22×50 FFP Riflescope is a lightweight hunting scope with a first focal plane reticle and a 50mm objective lens. It is designed to provide clear and bright images in low-light conditions, making it a good choice for hunting in mountainous terrain where visibility can be limited. The scope also features a long eye relief, allowing for comfortable and accurate shooting even with heavy recoil.
My previous scope was the Vortex Optics Razor HD AMG 6–24×50 FFP scope. Compared to the LHT, AMG is a more powerful scope designed for long-range shooting. It features a first focal plane reticle, a 50mm objective lens, and a wider magnification range, making it ideal for shooting longer distances. However, its heavier weight may not be ideal for mountain hunting, where a lighter setup may be more comfortable for carrying and maneuvering.
Ultimately, the best scope for mountain hunting will depend on your specific needs and preferences. It’s essential to consider factors such as the terrain you’ll be hunting in, the distances you’ll be shooting at, and your personal shooting style when selecting a scope.
