[QUOTE="UplandFreak, post: 1909045, member: 111854"] The glass in the VX5HD and VX6HD is as bright and clear as anything out there, night and day difference between the VX3i and the HDs . I had my 4-24x52 out bear hunting in Montana last weekend. Right at the end of legal shooting light down in the trees we saw a bear at 600 yards away. Hard to make it out with the binos. Through the scope up on it and it was like turning on the light brights - I could see all the detail I needed and wanted to see - the details of the ears in relationship to its head, even if it had a crease in its head. Awesome optics... I am not blindly defending Leupold - my first leupold was a VX5HD. I have since purchased several and I put my stuff through the ringer. At the range a couple times a month running them out to 1250 and I beat the heck out them on my hunts. In and out of scabbards with horses banging them into trees. Strapped to my pack hiking through nasty country, falling down and banging them on rocks. I hunt hard and they have never let me down. I also fly with my rifles alot - granted, I pack them in a nice boyts case, but it still kills me inside everytime I watch somebody body slam my rifle case onto the conveyor belt at the airport. Never had these VX6HD and VX5HDs lose a zero - ever! I always fear the worst and always check zero and they are always dead on. They continue to track like they have eyes....shrug. So my opinion isnt based on a buddy of a buddy’s experience. I am personally putting them through a torture test giving them ample opportunity to fail and they have not. [/QUOTE]
