[QUOTE="jimsbriar, post: 1316107, member: 50666"] Does anyone have thoughts on the leupold vx6 line? I am looking at putting teh 3x18x44 vx6 on my sako finnlight 300 wsm. Considering the lighted duplex reticle Pros: lightest scope in 30 mm tube at that magnification, lifetime warranty. Cons: glass clarity? Repeatability? Low light performance? I looked at many other scopes including SB, Zeiss,Swarovski,NF, and on and on. But they are either well over 20 oz, more magnification than I need, or not offered in 30 mm tube. This is a mountain gun used in heavy timber. That being said most shots are within 100 yards, but the opportunity exists for 500 yard shots quite often. Weight is a big/huge concern. I cover 6-8 miles or more each day. Cost is not really my concern. Weight, clarity of glass and light transmission are. Conditions are often rainy and the I work though dark timber stands routinely going from shadows, to darkness, to bright sun. Welcome to north Idaho!:) I own several Zeiss hd scopes in 1 inch tube, but want a scope in 30mm to get better light transmission I have always steered away from Leopold, not sure why. Think its because like a lot of scope manufacturers, they make an entry level scope and a high end scope. And, it seems like many people I know buy the entry level and eventually switch out to something better. So, before I launch on a sizable investment, I want your advice. Thanks in advance. [/QUOTE]
