    I wasn't planning too. I've not heard much positive in their regard.

    Auckland GC do have some good prices on decoys and projectiles to be fair, just know your stuff and what it should cost.

    One thing im struggling to wrap my head around. It is advised everywhere I read to zero the Vx2 at 200yard. I was under the impression I would zeroing my scope at 100m - if I do this, will the LR reticle then be off?

    Don't worry, just zero it at 100m, the various LR reticles will only line up to exact distances at different scope magnification levels.

    If you are lucky they may even be all spot on at a certain power. Mine is when on 12 power shooting 55gn Hornady VMax reloads.
    Hence I was able to nail turkeys with it at 400m using the reticle.

    For example. 200m zero.
    On 12x using 65gn Gamekings. The distances are a mix.

    Back it down to 8.5 and things line up nicely.

    It's good, there are better ones out there, but at 5 times the cost of Strelok.
