For those who have received these, how is the illumination?
I love the Leupold firedot reticles, is the Vortex dot super daylight bright like the firedot?
Like Mattiejay6 said it has the ability to be very bright. it is very simple to use and works very similar to my vx5hd firedot, i like the vortex reticle better thoughFor those who have received these, how is the illumination?

Mounted the 3-15x50 to my fix... haven’t shot it yet, will today! However crystal clear and is the perfect weight!
Interesting! It looks big on a fix.
That's why I want an even smaller 1" tubed FFP on my little carbines, like a 3-15x38. Yeah, I know, doesn't exist - yet.
If you have a sec, it’d be great if you’d take a pic of each reticle through the scope. No biggie, but I’d appreciate it.I’ve put less than 20 rounds through
mine. Put the x42 on a 260 Ti and the x50 on a Razor Ti 7mm-08.
They both tracked accurately during sight in. I’m not crazy about the bdc reticle. I need more time to clock some speeds and figure out drops.
Hopefully the wind will stay down and I can twist some turrets this week at some point.
I don’t find either reticle too thin and I have not played with the illumination yet.
I am not a glass snob by any means but the view through both was rather surprising for the price point and I was able to easily discern billet holes in brown cardboard at 100 yards.
The Mark 5 is great, but the reticle I like isn't illuminated and the illumination is expensive.

Right there with you, I’d kill for a 2.5-10x32mm, 30mm tube, <12”, <18oz, FFP, MIL/MIL optic. Illumination and parallax would be nice if it makes weight.
Maybe like a baby AMG! I know Vortex could do it!
Again, this does not exist, yet.

It will look big because it’s the 3-15X50 model and the huge one piece mount looks massive as well.
The 3-15X42 model in some simple rings or lightweight mount will change the look completely.

Turret vid for those that care
Here’s all I have of the scope mounted at this pointCome on folks I need more photos of the 3-14x42 mounted.
I’m in U.K. lockdown and on the cusp of purchasing.
Turret vid for those that care
Thanks for this! Turret sounds a little like my Nightforce SHV, firm but muted clicks. I like the spacing between clicks too. I had a Leica that had an awesome elevation turret (12 mil per rotation on a 1.5-10x) but it was like winding a watch.
Liberty Optics might be cheaper depending where you live. I don’t have to pay sales tax when ordering from them. So they could beat that deal for me.
well dang, howdo I contact Liberty Optics?
Yep the LHT is on Liberty Optics website. Just add to your cart to see the real price. Definitely better than OP.

I think the glass is comparable, little brighter in the LHT. Eye box is much more forgiving on the LHT.Has anyone compared this to the 3-12 LRHS? Considering it for a hunting gun.
Pros:
4oz lighter
Slightly higher mag
Cons:
I prefer FFP
I like LRHS reticle more
So far the pros do not outweigh the cons but if the glass is a lot better, that could win me over.
Thanks. My LRHS has served me well and I trust it. Its on a fairly lightweight rifle and dropping 4 ounces would be nice.I think the glass is comparable, little brighter in the LHT. Eye box is much more forgiving on the LHT.
LRTS has a proven record of reliability and tracking.
Very nice SlimBlunt. Thanks for posting the reticle pic.
I was wondering if the center dot is visible without the illumination turned on. It looks like it is.
How is the CA? I know the phone shots don’t really work but hopefully there isn’t any real CA.

There is some but it’s pretty good. In line for a 1k-1500 dollar scope probably. I am very sensitive to CA, it’s no Minox but it’s not badHow is the CA? I know the phone shots don’t really work but hopefully there isn’t any real CA.
