[QUOTE="BlackTail30, post: 1839933, member: 8632"] I was in the same boat as you last year and here was the differences I found. VX6 has wider magnification range than the VX5 (6x erector vs 5x). Anti-cant in the VX6 line. Illumination is standard in the VX6 line. Different reticle options in the VX6. Exposed locking windage turret on the VX6 vs capped on the VX5. Alumina caps came included with the VX6 line. If you just want something in a standard duplex (or even the Wind Plex which is a nice reticle) then the VX5 is probably the better deal. In the end, I went VX6 3-18x50 with TMOA reticle. I liked the higher power, I liked the 50mm objective, I liked the TMOA reticle better than anything in the VX5 line, I liked the illumination, I liked the exposed locking windage turret, and I would have added the alumina caps anyway. Worth it just depends on what you want. [/QUOTE]
