since the last shoot when My scope puked I started the process of getting a new one to replace the broke one, selling and buying a new one. this is what I ended up with, VX-6 4x24x52 w/ target turrets and T-MOA reticule. Its mounted up and ready to run in 34 mm TPS extra low rings and a new US Optics pic rail level mounted also. I hope to get out this weekend and run it through its paces and see if it works or not. Initial impressions?? very favorable  
the reticule pic is fuzzy, kind of touchy with an autofocus camera.
more to come soon; I can shoot again!!! |

Bill,
That scope is about as good as it gets. Good way to top off an outstanding build.

Rambler
the 5x25 conquest HD just couldn't stand up to the recoil, I went through two scopes in less than 75 shots. the older conquests I have had no issues with.
Im hoping this one will take the recoil, I will do a test side by side with some other higher end scopes soon. My friend Bill has a range and we line up the latest and greatest every two or three years at dusk with an eye chart @ 50 yds, all set at the same zoom setting. it will surprise you the difference in some highly touted scopes optically.
I have seen some pretty highly esteemed glass that was less than stellar with this test.
