The DD upper wears a nice 1.5-6 Victory HT, the Noveske a 1-6 VX6. The reticle is thicker, however I am disappointed in the Noveske barrel. I am putting a 3.5-10 on it and will reshoot with 55VMAX. I like the balance of the 18 inch barrel but not 2 inch groups at 100 yards. Here are some other Noveske barrel groups.

Best group DD Upper with LW barrel 1.25 inches. I measured it with calipers as well. A cheap chrome barrel out shoots a $500 SS wonder. Will send pictures when I mount the other scope and try again.
