Thread: VX6 in Mil ?

Latest HnF mag I see the vx5 is offered in mil with the HTMR reticle but all the VX6 options appear to be moa. Anyone know if the VX6 does offer a mil scope with HTMR or the likes?

According to the Leupold website only available in the one VX5 model.

Bit odd aye

I think they sell way less vx6 compared to the vx5. Just look at this form, VX 5 fs pops up once every couple of weeks. Vx6hd once every several months.

Given the small volume, it probably makes no sense for them to make this variant, which in their mind will not sell because as they say, they are primarily hunting scopes.

Most likely the HTMR reticle could be retrofitted to a VX6 but Im not sure its worth the bother if unless you already have a VX6
I have had a bit of a burn with the VX5 version a mate has and its OK, I would buy one although my next purchase is a VX5 2-10 firedot for my 308

Yes Mark 5s are all FFP.
There were some non-HD versions of the VX6 that came out in Mil but they are pretty rare, there are also some versions of the VX-R that came in Mil/Mil but that's not what you are after.

Leupolds product lines have been all over the place in recent years, no real trend across the range just a random bunch of options.
You can get Mil turrets and reticle retrofitted into the VX5/VX6 but unless you get a good deal on a used one it's not very cost effective.

If you want a 3-15ish SFP scope with a Mil reticle and Mil turrets there aren't too many options really, either the Mil/Mil scopes are all FFP and usually quite heavy.
I think there were some Mil versions of the Zeiss V4 early on, Vortex used to do a few SFP Mil models, older Leupold Mark 4s were usually SFP and Mil.
There are some models of the Leupold Mark 3hd that would suit but I don't think they will be as good optically as the VX5/VX6.

what happened to the NX8?

March Compact might fit the bill. https://marchscopes.com/scopes/d25v42tml/
