    I had a vx-6 it had good optics . the turrets were very disapointing. It lost its zero in the bush once. Sold it and brought a nightforce. had it on a 7mm rem mag so didnt kick like that.

    Perfectly fine, from freezing cold to serious heat in 40+ degrees Celsius, flawless performance









    A fine crosshair in a 2-12 is an extremely capable scope.

    I havent fucked mine yet and I am a rough c..t.

    The turret can move if carried in say a elberstock pack or similar or on a sling but that is true of any turret.

    Just got mine from america, 3-18x44 cds-zl firedot windplex. Only been to the range with it for sight in, the elevation turret was fine in terms of audible clicks i thought, not as bad as what i have been reading at all, tracked well on papper when sighting in, no field testing as of yet. So far bloody impressed with glass and package for the price. Cheers

    Awesome, can you modify a standard 3-18x44 cds to get zero lock turrets?

    Really rate them, they are a no fuss hunting scope, good glass, dial perfect out to stupid distances, nice and light, look good, lifetime warranty. Can't go wrong
