I have that 3-18 VX6 on a HCR 7RMag. It takes a back seat to nothing I've seen, including a couple of different NF scopes, IMO. Best eyebox in the business, I like simple duplex reticles, the CDS has been perfect with about 200 rounds through it so far (not a big twister personally, just casually).
Mine does have the Ill firedot duplex.
I have the same scope and agree completely. Clearer than a NF in my opinion and a better hunting scope also IMO.
