I know it will have a 6:1 zoom ration, but is that it? Any differences in glass, coatings, mechanics, etc?
Best,

JM Well the mechanics will definitely be changed with the 6x zoom. Carbon copy of the VX3 would be my best guess.

Hi Elk, I was referring to the erector system. Guess it will be the same as the VX3 as well.
I believe they will come standard with one cds dial, so that may add to the cost vs. the VX3.
Best,
JM.

Looks like SWFA has them. They are saying that the VX-6 have the Diamond Coat 2 coating on them as well.

Wonder how they will stack up against the Conquest. I haven't bought a Leupold for awhile and feel kinda guilty.
Price wise, they seem to line up with the 4.5x14x40 Conquest with turrets and SF.

Looks like SWFA has them. None yet, just checked. And they do not have ETA.
