Vortex Razor HD LHT 4.5-22x50
Who tested: Rokslide field eval (2022-02) — read the original write-up, which is the source of record. Who structured it: Optics Intel. We extract outcomes and cite; the testing labor is theirs.
Sample size: 1 (single serial number, inspected and cleared by Vortex mid-eval) — evidence about this unit, not a verdict on every unit shipped.
