Overview
A first focal plane hunting riflescope from Vortex Optics, the Razor HD LHT 4.5-22x50 pairs an illuminated XLR-2 holdover reticle with a locking elevation turret for long-range big game hunting.
Because the reticle is first focal plane, its holdover and windage subtensions stay proportional to the target at any magnification, which matters for hunters who dial for range rather than hold over by eye. One reviewer specifically distinguishes it from PRS competition scopes: the soft-click turret feel is intentional, built around internal microbearings, with the scope aimed more at mid to far range hunting between roughly 200 and 800 yards than at bench precision work.
- 4.5-22x50mm first focal plane magnification range
- Illuminated XLR-2 reticle with elevation and windage subtensions
- Locking elevation turret and RevStop Zero return-to-zero system
- Single-piece aircraft-grade aluminum 30mm tube
Who it's for
Fits hunters who want first focal plane holdover references and a locking turret they rarely need to touch after zeroing. Less suited to competitive precision shooters who want an audible, tactile click turret for repeated in-match dialing.
Pros and cons
- First focal plane reticle scales with magnification for holdover accuracy
- Locking elevation turret with RevStop Zero System
- Argon purged, O-ring sealed 30mm tube for waterproof performance
- Backed by Vortex's transferable lifetime VIP warranty
- Soft-click turret feel is not built for rapid in-match dialing
- Priced above entry-level hunting scopes
Performance notes
The XLR-2 reticle illuminates via a push button and enlarges proportionally as magnification increases, which one first-time FFP scope owner found made target acquisition noticeably easier.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Razor HD LHT's reticle first or second focal plane?
First focal plane, so the XLR-2 reticle's holdover and windage marks stay proportionally accurate at any magnification setting.
How does the turret compare to a competition scope?
One reviewer notes the soft-click feel comes from internal microbearings and is a deliberate hunting-focused design choice rather than a defect, distinct from the crisper clicks on PRS competition scopes.
What warranty does Vortex offer on this scope?
An unlimited, unconditional, transferable lifetime VIP warranty covering repair or replacement, excluding loss, theft or deliberate damage.
