Vortex RAZOR HD LH 1.5-8X32
Google suggests we've never talked about this one here.
A few threads in other places. Some credible people really like it. It's indexed as "inactive" on the Vortex site and Vortex's own search won't show it to you. You have to do an external search to get to their page for it.

EuroOptic and Scopelist both have inventory at a good price, but not the best price it's ever been historically. Makes me think that if I want one, it may be wise to get it now rather than waiting for $50 off on Labor Day or Black Friday.
I have an 18-in SPC upper that needs glass. OG lightweight KMR handguard. Mission will be some target work at moderate distance but primarily hunting around SE TX. There are four other long guns I'd reach for in the safe before it for home defense, but, being an AR, it's not so unsuitable for the purpose that's totally off the table. This Vortex seems like a good fit for the rifle in size, weight, glass quality, reticle, magnification range, likely Vortex durability, current price, etc.
Figured I'd ping the tribe here and see if anyone's messed with one and what your thoughts are.
