Had to get MOA turret separate, was easy though, my local retailer sorted it. I have both a MK4 and a Vx6 and would much rather use the Vx6. Nicer to look through, Lower profile turrets, not as bulky, price was good.Quote:

Getting it focussed through the whole power range took a fit of fidling around, but I’ve got it right. I wear glasses.
Sighting it in originally was a breeze. Just 3 shots. That’s usually a good sign.
I’m pleased with it.
I’m waiting for a 3-15 Zeiss HD5 (dialing lock turrets) for my 6.5 at the moment, so it will be interesting to see how they compare. About the same price. Same weight.
HD5 25mm tube, VX6 30mm.
Vx6 is the shit. I love mine, have it on my 7-375r.
Shot a 1 moa rock at 720 yards yesterday morning 1st shot using the cds turrets.
Glass is great, weight is good.
Alumia caps make it even sweeter to have as an allround gun.
Comes with capped turrets & 1 free cds turret u send away for, setup for your load or moa, options for standard Cds turret (multiple turns) or single turn (20 Moa) zero stop.Quote:

Yep certainly are.

The thicker crosshair model is certainly great in the bush for animals but not ideal for paper IMO:)Quote:

Attachment 31646 I have a 3-18x44 on my 7mmwsm 3.2kg rifle and it holds zero good and tracks fine so far and have dialled out to 500 yrds and back to zero no problems fitted moa/cds caps to elv and wind, just make sure you tighten up the locking allen keys tight and its a basted trying to find a new allen key when you lose the factory one, overall good scope for an all round hunting rifle
So , to drag up an old thread rather than start anew
Are folk still happy with the VX6 ?
Yes loving the 3-18x44
My 2-12 is good in all aspects except the elevation turret moves when rubbed against clothing or stuff in the bush. A locking turret and slightly thinner cross hairs would make it near perfect.
can they not be bought with a fine reticle?
edited to say
Guess not, just had a look at the reticle options.
getting pretty good press in general though from what I've been able to find so far.
3-18x44 going well. Dialled out to +800m and back repeatably but as mentioned, thinner crosshairs would be a bonus.
Good glass for the money.
Still stoked with my fine reticle 3-18 x 44.
You can get fine duplex.Quote:

Got the boon and crocket as always, cant think why you would want a thinner recticle unless dedicated target and then there is probably more suitable scopes available.
Just about the reticle. I've always understood that the duplex is thicker on the 2-12 than the higher mag models which have the "fine duplex" reticle?
Thar I have the duplex vx6 3-18 which is the same as the 2-12 that VC has, think I sold Matt2308 his one as well with the same reticle.Quote:

got 3-18x44 with firedot reticle - works a treat. My only complaint is the clicks on dial up are kinda musshy and not firm/definite as I would like. (Vortex, NF, Weaver etc all have much better feel)
Pussies!Quote:

it's amazing those sako's shoot so well with such an abortion of a bedding system
Certainly is a complex sort of design.Quote:
