[QUOTE="vancewalker007, post: 2391616, member: 66917"] Single point opinion. I have been using a VX6 HD 4-24x52 with the illuminated TMOA reticle on my long range rifle for 5 years now. I believe the VX6 reticles are all illuminated. It has worked perfectly doing a lot of dialing for elevation and wind. I shoot a lot steel in the wild country and at Ben Avery's Frank DeSomma range, so a lot of dialing, not just on field shots. Last year I trained my wife to shoot with this scope once a week for 4 months at the Frank DeSomma range for an African Safari and it tracked perfect. At first, I didn't know if I'd like the TMOA reticle, but the open center is great for both near and long range shots. The V6 Zeiss is a very good scope, I think the newer ones have been upgraded with locking turrets, but you will need to check that. Locking turrets, power, and weight were my 3 main requirements in a hunting scope when I purchased 4 years ago. I think the main difference you will notice is the lens coating differences in the Zeiss and the Leupold. You will need to decide which color enhancements you like better. The Zeiss seems to be angled towards cool color spectrum and the Leupold coatings are more towards the warmer spectrum. I think the Zeiss has a Fluoride element which will minimize color fringing.
