I have 3 of these V6s. I am a Zeiss guy and of my stable of Zeiss scopes, the 3-18×50 are my pick. I have branched out to a March and a Swarovski Z5 recently. The March is 1.5-15 and I went there to see the how the lower end worked for us in our deep forest hunting with occassional opportunity for longer shots. The Swarovski Z5 was a weight decision. I will see how the three compare for us in our western Oregon hunting. We hope to have Wyoming and Eastern Oregon on the agenda in a few years.
I did a high desert hunt two Falls ago where the 3x was great in the aspen forest and the 18x out in the sage and canyons. In the deep forest of western Oregon, at last light, I can see animals after shooting time with these scopes.
Bottomline, not an optic specialist nor using them for long range hunting or steel where I am constantly dialing, although hope to do more of that. So I can't confirm or comment on tracking issues. I have three and my choice for my wife's main gun was one of these V6 3-18×50 - so that tells you my opinion.
