I was comparing the overall construction quality of a pair of new VX6 (a 7/4x56 and a 4/24x52) along with a 6 years "old and plain" VX-III 6.5/20 x 50 LR Target and, to tell you frankly I'm a little baffled: lens quality apart (that's obivously the business here but I would not enter into merits ..) imho there has been a details quality drop in the new VX6 versus the old VXIII; i.e. magnification knob is really harder and incostant to adjust, on the other hand focus/parallax adjustment seems flimsy, turret clicks are absolutely not so crisp and sharp as the VXIII, turret caps thread are not so clear-cut; even the (laser?) engraved writing, all over the scope seems quite faint compared to the old model.
I would not jump to hasty conclusions (the 2 scopes I've checked could be an exception..) or give the impression to be too finicky, so I'd be glad to know the opinion of other guys here .
