[QUOTE="DartonJager, post: 1308433, member: 95733"] I shall heed your advice. At the end of the day Leupold was the only scope that I could find that matched my list of "must haves" in a scope for a light weight hunting rig, those "must haves" included: 1-As simple and uncluttered reticle as I could find. Sorry but I simply find reticles with all kinds of hash marks and numbers to confusing to use effectively. 2-MUST be light this means under 20oz and with a 40-44mm front objective, and under 15x 50mm meant scopes that were either or both to high of power or to heavy 3-SFP for MY WAY of hunting SFP works better than FFP. Unfortunately this nocked other great scopes out of contention like the SWFA SS 3-15x 42 and the Burris Veracity because they both were FFP and SWFA didn't offer a SFP reticle I liked. At the end of it all The VX-6 2-12x42 CDS/ZL met my requirements the best. I will do a number of tests on it when I get it and give a brutally honest review of it. I will next post a request for how to make a ladder to test it's adjustment along with shooting a box test. [/QUOTE]
