Been to gun city / hunt and fish etc to compare . Leupold was def the best quality glass for my eyes. Was looking for something around 6-20x50 but things got a bit pricey in the higher mag glass

3-15x44 in Leupold V5 was Crystal clear but the X18 on the VX6 was slightly better because of the extra magnification. BTW between vx5 and vx6 I couldnt tell the diff in clarity of the glass

If they done a 3-18x44 or 3-18x50 in the VX5 it would be perfect.

x15 just a bit under mag for the longer distances on small targets.

Dont want to spend over 2k tbh

trying to decide if the extra magnification (x15-X18) is worth the extra 1000$ or more

Of course dont have to go with Leupold but I like the idea of the CDS turret system

On my rabbit rig ive used nightforce nxs 5.5-22 sightron s3 shot rabbits out to 760yards. (260rem) just brought two bushnell xrs2s ffp. i like ffp you can make the reticle small if you want or larger. leupold dont have the best reputation for that kind of precison. id trust a sightron over one any day of the week.
