Discovery LHT review. The cheapest 6-24x44 I've tested

[Moondog]

They say, you get what you pay for. In the case of the Discovery LHT, you're also getting less because this is one of the lightest 6-24x scopes I've tested; it is 4 oz lighter than the Vortex Viper. The LHT has the slim profile of a traditional 3-9x hunting scope, with cross-over tactical features like a FFP reticle and exposed locking turrets.

This LHT 6-24x44 is nearly identical to the LHT 3-12x42 scope, but with a longer tube section forward of the turrets. Its glass performed like a budget optic. It has noticeable distortion and softening on the outer edges with some chromatic aberration. But its higher top end of 24x provided acceptable resolution at the center of its image to identify target rings at 100 yards.

What makes LHT scopes stand out is its value. This LHT has a street price of $150, making it a better value than Walmart-grade scopes. Its light-weight and above-average performance make this a serious upgrade to modern or vintage rifles. I’m putting this on my Glenfield 60.

Would it even hold zero?

 

[Moondog]

It has so far

Lifes too short to waste money on crap scopes tested on 22lr and think that is viable for testing to hold zero.

I found a Vortex Strike Eagle for about 150 used and Diamondbacks for MUCH less than 150. Vortex has guaranteed CS.

Vortex Crossfire Scopes msrp probably about 100-150 New, is much much much better than this airsoft crap.
