Sign me up for a Tract 6x42. And while we are making request I would like a low profile elevation turret and windage lines on the horizontal crosshair.
Or I would settle for a simple mil-dot

I could probably go for a fixed 6x on a pure hunting rifle. I want the reticle to be a mil-dot and mil adjustments, though.

The Toric in a 6x42 with no AO would be great. A little lighter, a little brighter, and a little more reliable. If the 2-10x42 holds up and the 6x42 is cut from the same cloth I'm in for several. Why bother with an adjustable objective. Very few shooters want them anymore, instead preferring a side-adjustment knob--but the present Euro-style quick-focus ring on the back of the Tract ocular bells would provide sufficient parallax precision for a 6x scope.
As for the market for a 6x scope, a recent survey of western big game hunters found that 6x scopes rank only slightly behind 3-9x/3-10x scopes as an overall choice--even for "long range" hunters. There are a couple of reasons for this. First, in modern scopes with larger eyepieces, field-of-view isn't a problem for 6x scopes even at very close ranges. Second, using a fixed-power scope bypasses all the problems of reticle size, whether first or second focal-plane.
Personally, if Tract offered 6x's that work as well as the 3-15x I've been testing, I'd put 'em on several rifles. Yes, I should have stated it as "no parallax adjustment" rather than "no AO". Unless it's going on a rimfire it's not needed on a 6x for hunting. I'm really liking the Tplex along with the Toric's low profile turret. The horizontal windage marks that are on the BDC might be useful for holding windage and wouldn't clutter the view to much while still allowing the reticle to be unbroken with no open spots....not a major issue either way. The basic Tplex is nice for a hunting scope that's going to be dialed.

I just bought a Meopta 6x42. There may not be many fixed power guys but we seem like a loyal bunch that spends money.
I'm here to increase my social credit score and rub elbows with some of the highest rollers on the internet.

I'd like a 6x42ish scope too. With a HEAVY German #4 reticle (fine crosshair but heavy posts, best of both worlds)

I think I may have asked a while ago if there were any plans to come up with a fixed 6 and a #4. I like my old school Meopta with its #4 ranging reticle and would love another that wasn't as long or as heavy in weight.
I have 3 rifles and one ML that could wear one.
