Yes sir I use 3 of them , all 3x18x44 illuminated. I am almost 62 and have had several eye surgeries leaving my dominate eye a little blurry due to aberration on the cornea. But the VX 6 line has all but eliminated blurry crosshairs I get with other Leupolds. One is a B&C reticle the other 2 are the standard firedot crosshair. I twist turrets so the style of reticle is of little concern . The reticle is thicker than most folks like but perfect for my eyes. My only gripe is a lack of a useable zero stop. I cannot understand Leupold making this good of a scope and not making a USEFUL zero stop. I am not crazy about the short CDS turret but I can make them work. I talked to Leupold customer service about 2 weeks ago and he gave a hint that a taller turret might be available in 2015.
