The LHT 3-12×42 is Discovery Optics’ most affordable crossover scope. This scope has the lightweight, slim profile of a traditional 3-9x hunting scope, with an FFP tactical reticle for precision target shooting. In addition, it features exposed locking turrets and an illuminated reticle.

The LHT’s turrets had some wiggle between each 1/4 MOA click, but the clicks were audible and tactile positive. Its parallax focus can target as close as 7 yards, making it an ideal optic for airgun or rimfire hunters. Its illuminated reticle is twilight bright with highlighted dots at key points.

Optically, it had a good eyebox but was not tack sharp from the center to the outer edge, which showed distortion and softening. Its clarity and brightness dropped off significantly above 10x. The glass also showed some CA at high magnifications. While optically average, the LHT’s features make it a better value than most 3-9x scopes below $150.
