Any one got any views or experience with the VXR scope ? thinking about changing the vx2 for one, red dot, larger tube supposedly better optics and light gathering properties?

Definitely better than a VX2, only criticism I have of the VXR was the crosshairs intersection was too thick for effective LR use, but they are not made for LR.
A big fast bullet beats a little fast bullet every time
Ok thanks for that. Apart from the slight increase in size and weight they appear to be quite a good choice for the bush
Yes agree with this, have a VXR-Patrol 3-9 x 40. Not a precision cross hair due to allowance of fibre optic that can be a bit annoying trying to shoot precision groups at rifle range. For practical hunting this is not a factor and almost the opposite on an animal, they are actually great. You get on target very quick in the bush in dark backgrounds much quicker than a fine black cross hair or if animal is running shot you can get on target.
Have on a Ar at the moment and was popping off claybirds at 200m today 4 out 5 shots in the rain
Fitted the VXR and sighted it in at Taupo yesterday. Very pleased with the results with some good grouping with the 243 @100m
for long range shooting i can see that a more powerful scope would give better results but for short to medium in the bush its looking good
I put a VXR Patrol with illuminated TMR reticule on my 30-06. The red dot can be turned off, or set to 8 different intensity brightness levels. The dot is about half moa -- 0.2 milrads so depending on your target bull shape you can hold pretty well central for group tests. Turrets feel a little exposed with no caps but in general I really like the scope and the millradian adjustments. Mine is a 3-9 and I am giving some thought to quitting a ffp 3-12 scope to buy another VXR Patrol or similar for one of my other rifles. The red dot is great in dull conditions or shadowed bush.
I have one and it has served me well. The laws where I deer hunt allow for harvesting deer 30 minutes before sunrise and 30 minutes after. The firedot gives me extra hunting time and I killed two deer and one wild hog that I otherwise would not have taken last season.
TJM if you don't mind me asking where did you purchase from. Used one of these a while ago and thought it was great.
