Product Overview
The Vortex Razor HD LHT lineup covers distinct configurations built for different hunting applications, and the 4.5-22x50 stretches the magnification range furthest — built for hunters who regularly take shots at extended distances and want more power on tap when the terrain opens up.
The illuminated XLR-2 reticle sits in the First Focal Plane, providing accurate holdovers and ranging at any magnification setting — genuinely useful when engaging targets at varying distances within a single hunting scenario, without needing to dial back to a specific power setting first.
Every Vortex hunting scope in the LHT lineup features the RevStop Zero System on the elevation turret, with a locking mechanism for confident field dialing on serious long shots. Built from aircraft-grade aluminium on a single-piece 30mm tube, waterproof, shockproof, and fogproof, with a class-leading HD optical system, XR Plus fully multi-coated lenses, an APO system for correct colour across the spectrum, and ArmorTek for scratch-resistant lenses.

Reticle & Sight Picture
The illuminated XLR-2 reticle sits in the First Focal Plane, providing accurate holdovers, ranging, and windage corrections at any magnification setting — a genuine advantage for hunters engaging targets at varying distances within the same outing.
Great for long-range shooters and hunters who prefer to hold for bullet-drop and wind at distance, rather than dial for every shot. Available in MOA or MRAD depending on your preferred ranging system.
