    Don't want to sound rude but are you sure it's not your particular setup with a cheek weld, LOP or ring height issue etc?
    They are terrible. If they were all you know then you probably wouldn’t pick up on how much of an issue it is. Without sounding like a “scope snob” I’ve been using pretty much exclusively swaro scopes the past few years and recently got a rifle that has a VX3i on it and it’s almost unusable to me

    Too add, I’ve actually had a bit of experience recently also with a 4-12x40 vx freedom and I actually found it a lot more comfortable to use than it’s much more expensive sibling the vx3i

    Yup, I "upgraded" from a VX1 3-9x40. Regretting that now. The VX1 was a bloody good scope for the price!

    the 4-12x40 Mark 3HD is mil/tmr/5.5mil ZS on vx freedom chassis.
    way nicer eyebox vs the vx3
    Bigger Better Faster Stronger

    That looks like a good no nonsense scope.
    16.2 oz about 460g so not too heavy either.

    The vx3 HD 4.5-14 is 13.3 oz and the same price.
