The features are better on the LRHS but the reticle in the SS is a little more visible at last light and it weighs 7 oz less. The really important stuff, zero retention, return to zero, and tracking, are excellent on both. I keep the LRHS on my "heavy" gun and the SS on my lightweight.

Very nice! It was on a custom 28 Nosler no less. Optically and in turret feel, it was a tangible step up from my NXS. Even the zero stop had a more definite feel. Edit: looked at the specs for the 4-16 ATACR. I have a new dream scope for my upcoming 6.5 SAUM build! Didn't realize it was SFP, which is a good thing for my purposes. My previous dream scope was the 3.5-15 NXS... and my fallback is the 3-12x44 LRHS. We'll just see how winter 2017 plays out... self-employment is unpredictable... but now I have a new "ceiling"!

My VX-3 has 650 yds on the CDS dial. Hoping the VX-6 will get me to 800+ on the CDS. I'm not really a long range shooter, but after shooting at 600 at target I felt comfortable enough that I would have shot at an elk at that range (only if necessary). My shot came at 180 yds. No need for the dial.

Mostly versions of the VX-3 & 3i's in 4.5-14x40, but a few 3.5-10's as well. A couple VX-3-18's as well, but my dedicated long range 300 Win has a 6.5-20x50 MK-4 ER/T with a TMR reticle. It's one of my favorite scopes...

But my 280 Ack has a Leupold VX6 2x12 42mm With the bullets I'm using, I get to about 825 yards +/- with one revolution of the dial (20 MOA). That's plenty far (for me) for targets, I'd probably limit myself to 600 yards for hunting.

I also like the SS 3-9x42 mq and the SS 10x. Some wear the weaver 3-10x40 mil/mil from midway which does well for a cheaper little bit lighter option. Bb

I have four Leupold scopes on my handguns. I guess you could say that I'm sold on Leupold scopes. I also have a pair actually two pair of Leupold (old style) Gold ring binocular's. They are way better than the crap they sell today. All of my hunting buddies want to use my binoculars. If you reload, there's no such thing as an obsolete cartridge. Once you render an opinion, you open yourself up to criticism.
