May never again see that much scope at such a price.

I agree at $2K, a lot of competition, S&B, Victory, NF, etc.

VX-6 is a great scope below $1K, gets lost in the crowd at $2K.

From my side by side comparison you can get this much scope for less if you buy a Bushnell 6500 4 1/2-30X50. Everyone here who looked through them preferred the glass in the 6500 over the VX-6 4-24X52. Neither had the advantage in low light on deer antlers. Also the 6500 is two ounces lighter. The plex can be had about $700, the mil dot and the 600 DOA under $800.

I had a 6500 2.5-16x42. It was good, glass about the level of a VX-3, IMO. Never examined a 6500 4.5-30x50.

My 6500 had a limited eyebox compared to the VX-6, even tighter at higher power, tended to run out of light beyond 12X in late evening. The duplex was OK. ER was adequate.

I sold it. To me the VX-6 is a superior scope, glass, eyebox, low light ability, ER, duplex, etc. I have two VX-6 2-12x42's, probably need to pick up another with these closeout prices. When they're gone, they're gone. And we hear about a $2K price point with the new HD version.
