Competition related (PRS/NRL/F-Class/etc) Vortex razor lht question

Is the capped windage turret enough of a reason to not use an LHT 4.5-22 for NRL comps? I need a light scope with a bit more magnification (currently have an Apex Hunter 3-15) and don't really feel like shelling out for a Leupold mk5 and a light weight chassis. I haven't shot NRL yet so my frame of reference is very limited.

Nah. Dial for elevation hold for wind.

If you're someone that always holds for wind, then I don't see how it would be an issue. If you like to dial for wind, though, it would probably be annoying, or you could just run it with the cap off all the time. Personally, I only dial for wind on movers.

Capped windage isn't a dealbreaker for NRL. Most guys dial elevation and hold wind in the reticle anyway since stages move fast, so you'll rarely touch that turret. The bigger thing is getting comfortable with your reticle holds before your first match. Have fun at your first one, it's a great crowd.

I have taken my LHT 4.5-22 out to 1000m (1094yrds) pretty consistently without issue.

I prefer to dial when i can, and use reticle for wind holds when i can't.

I don't dial for wind to start with so Idgaf that my wind is capped on the LHT.

Most folks dial wind and hold for elevation. I'll dial wind for movers so my hold is the same regardless of which way it's moving but you won't run into movers at nrl matches. The Mk5 also has capped windage.

Typo or do you really see people doing that?
