I think I'm looking for what everyone else isn't then.
30mm tubes just mean I need new rings. For hunting in the east where I'm almost never shooting over 300 yards, I don't really need the exposed elevation turret. I'd just as soon have it capped.
I do like the addition of the illuminated reticle, wish mine had that.
I don't have a 2-10 HD LH, I have three 3-15s. But I'm interested in a 2-10. Always wished it was available with a side focus.
Add an illuminated reticle to the old HD LH, and I'm good really. And I'm already quite happy with them. Give me a 2-10 HD LH with illuminated reticle and side focus and I'd be really happy.
