Has anyone had a chance to compare the new Victory HT vs the FL scopes yet.I know the HT was being shipped this month but I thought a reviewer might have gotten their hands on an advanced scope?

Victory FL and HT are not really meant for the same type of users. From what I have seen HT are great scopes and one of the best choices for hunting. I have compared HT 2.5-10x50 vs Z6i 2.5-15x56 vs S&B Zenith 2.5-10x56 and can say that
on the eye
HT has best low light performance . The only minus in my opinion is a barley noticeable tunnel effect on 2.5x compared to S&B.

I have the 4-16 FL rifle scope & I also have FL bino's so I've really come to like the FL line but I did hear that the HT were brighter.Thanks for your input.
I also use a S&B Zenith FD#9 3-12x50 & I've heard this before about the tunneling,but I just don,t see it probably my old eyes are just not that sharp any longer

The FL Diavari scopes are for long range hunting and long range shooting. They are indeed very bright with great resolution for long range hunting & shooting 400-1,000 yards. The new HT scopes are maingly for general purpose hunting in extremely low light. Like for instance here in SC we can legally hunting 1 hour past sunset and it gets very dark. If I'm not mistake I also believe we can hunt pigs at night over bait. These are what the HTs are for.

S&B Zenith has no tunneling, Victory HS has some. ;) And yes the HT scopes are one of the brightest on the market and especially intended for low light use.

I have been using a 2.5-10x50 HT for low-light/night hog hunting now for over a month. It it hands down the brightest scope I have ever used, very slightly better than my Trijicon 2.5-19x56 which is a LOT heavier. After dark I attach my AN-PVS22 and dial it down to 4 or 5x and it appears to be just as good of a NV optic as my D740. My only two complaints on it is that I would like it to have thicker crosshairs and obviously the price. Overall this is probably the best scope I have ever owned for the type of hunting I do. However Leupold just sent me the latest VX-3 3.5-10x50 Illum and it is also VERY nice......................
