Optimal back-country hunting optic - Vortex Razor HD LHT 4.5-22x50mm 30mm Tube First Focal Plane Rifle Scope

I spent my entire adult life carrying a long-gun for work, and as I advance in age, weight has become a greater consideration for me while hunting. I entered my search for an upgraded optic for my .300 WinMag big game rifle, with the 3-15x, SFP cousin of this Razor, but also considered Schmidt and Bender, Night Force, Leupold, Leica and others. Even though my budget wasn't totally unlimited, I shopped as if it was, and the Vortex Razor HD LHT 4.5-22x ended up being the optimal choice based on the vectors of price, weight and performance. Price was easy because Optics Planet just crushed everyone else (even the pro deal I get from Vortex!). Importantly, all the other optics that I considered were very nice (read very capable), but this Razor was literally a half pound or more lighter than the others I considered. If you hunt in an environment like I do (Rocky Mountains) ounces are pounds, I couldn't justify the increase in weight for the marginal increases in performance of the other considered optics. This combined with the low probability that I would take a 1300m+ (see "age" above) shot on an animal lead me to what I believe is THE optimal solution for my hunts, the Vortex Razor HD LHT 4.5-22x.
