Let me know how you like it. I'm looking for a low power mil dot scope and that one looks like one of the better options in my price range

Identify your target beyond doubt, because you never miss and I'll be missed

Hiya; any more first hand experiences with the Vixen scopes? I'm still pretty keen to try one but still like to hear any more user experiences. Sorry to revive an older thread, but thought that it's good to have the info in one spot. Thanks

I have been using my 3-12 regularly on a 10/22. The scope doesn't "feel" very solid but it is light weight and I can't fault it's performance.

I've got the 3-12x40 BDC on my 308. Does a brilliant job for a $420 scope. Great picture and sharp around the edges.

Also have the 2-8x32 BDC on my 22lr.

Great lightweight scopes and very good value!

Agree - 3-12x40 is very good value

Got to be the lightest and most compact in this magnification range.

I have the Vixen v111 2.5-15x50 with an illuminated BDC10 reticle that will be putting on my Tikka elite 6.5cm L/H action I will do a bit of a review on the Viven when I heal a bit more and do some more load development to find the 1 recipe [powder and projectile] go to load that I can load when I need more so far 143ldx and win760 and am getting close to 2800fps what other powders are you guys using? it has been hard getting powder thanks to covid lucky I had quite a bit of 760 that I used for my 8x68s cal Weatherby mk5 that I no longer own. seems to work ok.

My 6.5CM loves anything to do with ADI2209. Can't get it to shoot a bad group with it.
