Before I commit to spending this level of $$$ would like the input of those who own and have had experience with the Leupold VX6HD 3-18x44mm 30mm tube. I'm looking for your experiences in:
#1-Tracking and adjusting it then returning to zero over and over or enough that you are 100% confident in it's ability to track, adjust and return to zero
#2-short and Long term durability
#3-How do the wind and elevation dials work and FEEL when adjusting them do you feel a rock solid sharp and very tactile sensation when dialing for elevation and wind and are they the least bit mushy.
#4-How well the turret locks work to prevent unwanted movement
I'm not all that concerned about the VH6HD's glass quality as I'm sure it will be more than good enough for my intended usage.
If you happen to own one with the T-MOA reticle please tell me what you think as that is the only reticle I would get it in if I buy. I plan on using this as an all around hunting scope from close (under 100 yards) to my longest range shots be it for deer or elk hopefully one day if I get good enough to 7-800 yards.
No offense meant, but please if you aren't a fan of or hate Leupold please refrain from commenting, I'm looking for factual first had evaluations of a specific Leupold scope to aid in my decision to buy or not and have no desire or wish this thread degrade into a opportunity for people who are so inclined to bash Leupold. If you have factual negative information to add based on your own first had personal experience with this exact model Leupold scope having failed you by all means please share your experience with me but I'm looking for strictly fair, honest and objective evaluations based on having actually owned this particular Leupold scope.
Thanks,
Arthur.
