    Have you had a play with a VX6? I went along to NZ Asia pretty sure Id walk out with a 2-12 but the turrets where not flash at all, very disappointing.

    In what way were they disapointing sneeze? how do they compare to say vx3 turrets?

    It seems a shame that Leupold may have cocked up the feel of the turrets on their VX7 range - they could be the closest thing to an affordable all round scope at a half resonable price. I haven't felt one yet so can't confirm that.

    They were very soft,almost spongy in feel with no audible indication. Still useable but poor value for that money IMHO. I was surprised as leupold have been pretty consistant across the range with their turrets, never being top notch but always good. It was only one scope but a reference was made that a well knowen NZ shooter/writer had made the same comment.

    Be interesting to hear other opinions on them,they may get better.
