I have the VX-6 inbound. Got to get a mount still. What convinced me was looking thru an old Vari-x 2 1-4 at a 35 yard deer skull at sunset plus 30. The reticle gave up but I could still see the horns set on 4. Wish I had them cross canyon shots but I don't so 4.5-20 power scopes I just don't need! If I like it I am going to get the 2-12 for a 308 Kimber
