I rarely dial when hunting, but it has locking turrets with zero stop. If these have 'very good' or better glass they sound like a great hunting scope.
Anyone have any experience with these?

I cant imagine the glass would be as good as the VX6 you have. Ive owned Burris scopes across their line and to my eyes, their glass is always lacking. Its the biggest thing that keeps me away from these scopes.


And I bet the illumination would also be lacking.

I've been unimpressed by what Burris offers as "illumination". I'd rather they offered the scope without the extra weight or cost of their "illumination", because I don't find it to be usable.
