[QUOTE="Konrad.INc, post: 1430764, member: 86301"] To answer some of your posts, I dont want to go any higher than 5X on the low magnification for when those deer jump up at 30 yards. I have heard of tracking issues on all manner of Leupold scopes for 10 years, the VX-6 is no different. Its really hard to figure out if they have an actual problem with tracking (EG lots of people having issues) or if its a one/two/a few people here and there having issues and reporting them to every shooting/hunting website they know. As far as I can tell, vortex has the same PR issue. Having said that, I will also suspect that Vortex and Leupold are selling 10X the number of scopes in the US market as Zeiss so obviously there should be 10X more problems even if the total failure rate is 1% or less. I'm an engineer by trade and I understand how those failure rate percentages work and it can take 10X the work chasing that last 1% of failures. Sometimes infant mortality happens, and there really isnt much you can do about it without actually shooting/simulating being shot and dialed a bunch of times for every scope you ship to actually rule it out. This can be extremely time consuming and expensive. You look around enough and you will find failures for every brand and model of scope on the web. [/QUOTE]
