As I mentioned earlier, I really like the VX5 3-15, but I did find a flaw. I was hunting hogs a while back and managed to choose the wrong stand. The hogs went to the corn I had put out near another stand. It was real dim by then, but I did know the distance, being 300 yards. I went to adjust the CDS for the distance but could not see the numbers. Certainly a problem I had not anticipated. But I had a small flashlight, so got the scope set. Now it was really dim, but I could still see the big hog and I had the fire dot on. I did manage to kill the hog.
To avoid a repeat of the problem, I bought some glow in the dark tape and marked the turret with small glow dots.
Yesterday evening I was lucky enough to see the two big boars I had been hunting. They were at about 175 and moving toward 200. No time for CDS dialing, so holdover had to do.
Bottom line...I do like my Leupold scopes, and there does not seem to be one solution to all of my hunting problems.
