[QUOTE="Epeeandirk, post: 3041889, member: 117187"] V6 is not out yet. Currently in all the V3-V5 you must program through the scope menu. All versions are pretty close in weight, no heavier or larger than my Vortex III 6-36x56. Download the PDF manual and you can see how they are programmed. Really very simple, and they do use altitude for your personal drop numbers. I will purchase the V6 when it hits the store shelves, but currently I personally have not found one available. At this point in time, I have never had any problems other than the glass isn't all that great in the V3 and V4. V5 is much better, and uses standard size AA batteries, easy to carry in the field. Batteries are simple to change, but you do have to have the tiny screwdriver to take off the plate, but the screws do not come loose so you don't have to worry about losing them. Being the more casual shooter that I am, the Eliminator line I find helpful. Hardcore shooters will most likely not like the looks or the gadget type "look" of the scope. I find it nice not to switch from my rangefinder to the rifle. The rangefinder in my experience has always "worked" accurately confirming what my handheld rangefinder shows. Is the ballistic calculator as good as using AB calculators? Probably not, but for me it's plenty good enough, and most likely plenty good enough for any game animals out to 800 which is as far as I would ever go for me. It also gives you a 10 mph wind offset number in the upper righthand part of the scope, which when I used it, works pretty dang well. I hope this helps, and as always all of this is in my very humble opinion. There are experts here who I am sure know WAY more about this stuff than I do. I enjoy these scopes they make me smile when I use them, they are fun, and that's the bottom line for me. [/QUOTE]
