The 3-9 is better optically.... and on par with many “high end” riflescopes. Though, I have no issues with the glass in the Fixed series... and I’ve hunted them in all kinds of light, weather, and terrain. The reticle In the 3-9 is the same design as the 6x, with the solid diamonds rather than the open ones found in the 10x. It seems more bold to me than the 10x.
At 3x the tunneling is pretty bad, but at 4-5x it’s solid and has a nice large field of view.
I’ve never had any parallax related issues with the 3-9.... and have run one out to 1300+ yards.
The scope itself is smaller than the fixed offerings. If it had a zero stop, and low-profile covered windage turret... it would be the ultimate hunting scope as far as I’m concerned.
You better pray to the God of Skinny Punks that this wind doesn't pick up......

I have a 6MQ and a 10MQ, What makes the 3-9 so much better? I've been resisting buying one as I usually set scopes on 6 or 8 anyway. Is the HD glass worth the expense?
My 6x seems better in low light than the 10 but I like the reticle better in the 10. How does the FFP in the 3-9 compare? Does the lack of parallax adjustment cause any issues on the 3-9?
Thanks.
The 3-9 is visually better than the 6x. The 3-9 is smaller too.

Yep, just dropped too much money but the deals are on. Also everything on Samplelist is additional 15% off. Just scored a demo 1-6 HD for $595. Plus new fixed 6x at $199 is pretty unbeatable

If any of you guys are buying one of the package deals and don’t need the rings, I could use a set of the lows.

I picked up a 5-20x50 HD SS last year on Black Friday for a substantial savings. This year is proving to be fantastic regarding the 5-20x50 SS. The savings this year is $150.00 more than last year! Great scope(s) at fantastic prices! Thanks Chris!

So many things to buy, not enough money to spend.....am I the only one with this problem? No. Definitely not! I elected to pick up another 5-20x50 HD SS. Even with the HUGE discount my slush fund was sorely depleted. Gotta save the rest of my meager equipment allowance for Christmas gifts. Merry Christmas early to me!

I might have tried one of the 5-20 non-illuminated if they had the same discount.....
