Greetings Vietnamcam,
Yes they are not as common as they used to be. The 6 power FX2 LR Duplex on my T3 is still available. I looked at both the FX2 and FX3 but chose the former as it was lighter and the scoped rifle weighs less than 3kg. I had a 3-9 on my .308 rifle at one time and found it got left at 6 power most of the time. More of my rifles have fixed power scopes than not including 6, 8 and 10 power. The three 10 power scopes have Mil dot reticles which I quite like and avoid the problems from second focal plane reticles in variable scopes. Currently there is a much wider range of first focal plane scopes available in my price range and I might have to break open the piggy bank for one for my 7mm SAUM if I can improve my mobility by spring.
Regards Grandpamac.
