He had a used VX-5HD with the HTMR for sale last week and I didn't pull the trigger. Debated back and forth and it was sold before I ever came to a decision. I'm in the analysis paralysis stage of this process.

More magnification than you said, but I think the rest fits what you want.

Did you look at the 2.5-15x42 Trijicon Credo? 13.9", 23oz, Mrad, great glass, great center dot reticle, great turrets with tool less re zero and one of the easiest zero stops I've used. I have the MOA version on my 20" barreled 8lb scoped AR 15 and it doesn't feel big and bulky at all. I love the reticle, center dot is perfectly sized, and it has divisions for the subtensions at different powers right in the scope. The illumination range is perfect, daylight bright to NV comparable low that won't wash out your vision in low light. Side focus parallax down to ten yards works great and is always focused when parallax is removed. Only possible negative is that the reticle doesn't have any thick bars for low light without illumination but I haven't had an issue and always keep a spare battery. Seems perfect for what you are looking for.
How many inch lbs do you use tighten the rings on your Vortex?
Just curious as to what the issue was with the Vortex Razor. I have a few and have had no issues with them?

Take a look at the Sightron SIII Long Range. It ticks all the boxes except length (14.9") and it has a little heavier magnification (6-24x50). Their glass is excellent with great turrets and it comes in mils with 2FP. You can find them for right around $1k+. Not many followers here on LRH, but a great scope for the price. If unsure, read reviews/comments from those who actually own and shoot them.
I had been looking for something similar. I went with a VX-5HD, I actually ended up buying two. A buddy has the LHT and he seems to like it, they replaced an LH with it. Have you looked at the Zeiss Conquest V4? Leica has the Amplus 6 too that seems prettt nice. Those two are on my short list. Never mind, those two are only MOA. Finding a MIL might be harder than I thought.
I agree.
You know what might be a good one if you could find it is a VX-3i LRP 4.5-14x50mm I know there's still some out there, I kinda want one to put on my 6.5 Grendel but I just haven't pulled the trigger yet. I think I know where there's one at.
10x max 1 inch tube 40mm obj for the lightest weight. CDS from Leopold is nice if you never change loads. Anything like that should be 16oz or less. I installed a 30mm 4.5-14x 44 on a standard Weatherby vanguard and it looks too big and is a little top heavy and awkward to carry. Much preferred it with the 3-9x40mm vx2. For 500yds 10x is plenty, so the gunsmith told me.

Wasn't my scope, so I don't know. I know my buddy lapped the rings and used a torque wrench when installing rails, rings etc.

Good suggestion I'll look into this a bit more. The 42mm objective would've eliminated this from my searches. 44mm would be ideal I think since 40mm has a limited FOV. Do you find the FOV is adequate with the 42mm?
