Boy does it pay to research. So just like WT in MT says, the HD designation means pretty much nothing. The Vortex is way overpriced if you start looking elsewhere. mtmuley

I didn't intend to convey that it's a worthless moniker, rather that it can mean whatever the manufacturer wants it to. Some makers may very well use it to indicate ED glass, but you have to do your research to see what it means.

Been digging around some more. Some manufacturers also have sub categories of "HD" glass according to price point. One thing is always clear though. More money equals better glass. mtmuley
