Ping pong balls for the win. Once you've wrestled everything else in life is easy. Dan Gable I keep my circle small, I’d rather have 4 quarters than 100 pennies. Ain’t easy havin pals.

Good looking lumber on that one too. Pics don’t do it justice. Loves the old Hornady 53gr flat base hollow point match over IMR 4064. Like to find one in 30-06.

Now you’ve done it… I'll do it even more: I have that very same VX-5HD scope and really can't tell a difference between the glass quality on it versus my VX-3HDs. For my 55 year old eyes, there is a point of diminishing returns. I've looked through VX-6HDs and I don't see a huge difference there (though the cost increase does also cover increased power range and nice, aluminum flip up lens covers). I also like the duplex reticle in the VX-3HD better than the duplex reticle in the VX-5HD. Ther VX-5HD is nice, though. No issues with it at all so far, and no furry reticles.

Idk about the VX3HDs, haven't seen them in person. But I will say, for a hunting rifle, IMO, there is no better reticle than the simplistic Duplex.

VX-6HD is the same glass as the VX-5HD. Just other features added as well as the Alumina flip caps. VX-3HD is not the same glass, though it is often reported as being very close

But I like to mess around with custom loads and you need a different dial cap for each specific load. They're not cheap, especially after spending $900+/- on the scope itself.
