While at the Dallas Safari Club Convention today, I got to handle the new Leupold VX-6 3-18. I must say, it is AWESOME. I also looked through the new Zeiss Conquests HD's. They too are AWESOME as were the Swarovskis. Really, the Lupey was right there, I would buy the Lup but already got the Z-5. Got tired of waiting. The Leupold rep said they were shipping now.
I looked through a Vortex HD LR 4-16 at the same booth with the scopes above, really???!!! It looked like the Vortex had vaseline all over the lenses, it was horrible, at least compared to these above. NOW WAIT...the Leupold VX-R was right up there too and was 10000 times brighter/clearer than the Vortex. I was about to buy a Vortex HDLR, but not now. If It can't be a VX-6, it will be the VX-R,
By the way, this show was friggin awesome. It was a who's who of the hunting world. All the personalities from all the TV shows were there. It was cool seeing them as "real" people, like us.
Gosh, if I can just win the Lotto tonight, I will be back there tomorrow!
