Ok so thinking of getting a VX6 2-12x42, I see Outdoor Supplies has them at $1800 are there any retailers out there doing better deals on them? Unless someone has a second hand one they are looking to move?
Also those of you who are running them, are you happy with them, pros/cons? Cheers
Very happy with them
I emailed OS at the start of the week, their prices are up to date and accurate for VX6.
Not quite what you want ,but..

Not my auction, just a heads up

I have one. Can't fault it. Bright and big field of view. Fairly thick plex reticle on mine, but ideal for hunting. I prefer it to my 3-15 Zeiss HD5.
Would prefer locking turrets on the VX6 though.
Yes. I've used Giles for just about everything over the last 30 odd years.Quote:

Very happy with mine.
They dial accurately and are very good optically.
The only things I would really like improved are for them to have a more positive feel to the adjustment clicks and a zero stop.
I got a 2-12 2nd hand off here. Its nice but the duplex reticle looks as if its been drawn on with a vivid. It needs to go back to factory to get sorted when i can be bothered. The clicks are poos which make the need for a zero stop. If the made the clicks like the mk4s itd be mint.
Also gotta 3-18 fine duplex which is primo except for poo clicks but has zero stop. They both dial sweet enough for joe blogs. I rekon they were priced right when they came out, for the money they were the top pick. But now for what theyre wanting id look at others as well.
