Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics Leupold 2-12x42 VX-6

The CDS dials for the 2-12x42 are available now. Here's mine, for a 7mag, 168VLD's @ 3030 fps zeroed at 100, gets me past 900 with 1 turn.....

It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

Those diavari's, that one in particular, are world class no doubt, and probably the favorite scope I've ever looked through, but have no actual use with. Someone needs to ask the mullets at Zeiss why they don't make them anymore.

Agree.

Other than the 30mm tube, same size as a vx3 3.5-10x40, fantastic glass, ffp reticle. Why they discontinued it is beyond me.

Others will disagree but i see no benefit to the 1.5-6x42 they left in the product line up.

Of course as I state previously I was ready to pounce on the vx6 when it was announced a LOnG time ago, got impatient, and ended up with the zeiss

I would like to mess with the vx6

JG,
Have you/did you use the turrets before your custom turret? This is likely a stupid question but.......you get the same distance weather custom or standard turret yes?

I'm wanting this scope for a future 243/105gr bullet build. Would love to use this scope if it'll have enough adjustment. Was gonna order one and just switch to m1's if it didn't work out. After talking to 3 people at Leupold they finally told me that adding m1's isn't a option for the v6's due to the pop up turret system...understood. I've always been happy with the 3.5-10's but would like to try some of this better type glass. Thanks

You still get the 20 MOA per revolution with the standard turrets the VX6 comes with. They pop up and are resettable, and have the cover like the windage turret in the picture. The glass is noticeably better in the VX6 to me than my VX3, which I find excellent in itself. I also really like the fast focus euro focuser.

Ok so if u get the custom dial it's like a regular cds and isn't pop up? I "think" I would like that better than the pop up...really shouldn't say since I've not handled/used the pop up. While I'm not sayin they are better/worse I should probably try them before I form an opinion.
