I picked one up on the sale, and it's an awesome piece of glass. I was going to pick up a different scope, but it was too good of a deal to pass up. My only complaint was the elevation turret is in 1/2 MOA increments.. kind of a bummer. The HS T would have been my choice if they had the 4-16 in a 50mm obj, and it was on that good of a sale.
EDIT: I just realized you were talking about the 6-24. In that case I would certainly go with the HS T. The HS LR is still 1/2 MOA adjustments on the 6-24, and the windage turret is capped which I'm not a huge fan of. Also, the scope is only available in first focal plane. If you want that, great.. but if not - you're paying a lot more for something you won't use. Either way - that 1/2 MOA elevation turret is a huge drawback for anything long range.

I have 5 pieces of vortex optics ranging from a red dot to a viper pst and rqzor hd binos... never had a lick of issue with any but my binos. They were promptly replaced. Funny how a guy can badmouth a product he doesnt own... i have vortex scopes on my 300 rum and 375 h&h and they have not had any issue at all. Track true and operate well. With my rum i have alternated between 1000 yards and 200 yards plenty of times and i am always right on usong my pst. Admittedly they are not nightforce or schmidt and bender but they also dont cost what nightforce does. I feel they are a great value for the money.:yeah:X2!

I can find a lot of scope failures of any brand on the internet... :chuckle:I have 5 pieces of vortex optics ranging from a red dot to a viper pst and rqzor hd binos... never had a lick of issue with any but my binos.

If you are referring to what I said I would hardly call that badmouthing. I simply passed on what MANY have said. Look at some other forums and you will see it is well documented that there have been a lot of problems with them. I'm glad you haven't had problems with yours.

But I feel you will enjoy the hs lr don't have to shoot the turret I do when I'm screwing around and just shooting for fun, it's nice with te zero stop so when I am hunting I just make sure it's turned to the stopping and what not... Haven't had any problems yet with it I like the 30 mm tube too let's a ton of light in.
