Quote from: wsmnut on January 16, 2016, 08:30:38 AMI have two of the Leupold VX-6 scopes. A 2-12 on a .270 Win, and a 3-18 on a .300 WSM. I can't say enough about them. Both have CDS dials and duplex reticles. (The 3-18 is a "fine duplex"). They have exhibited no problems with repeatability from turret twisting, both have a zero stop, and are a nice low profile. These are my first experience with a thirty mm tube. The brightness is amazing. It is very simple to order the CDS dials, and the longest I waited for one was 10 days. The zero stop comes with the CDS dial and is dirt simple to install.The dial on the .270 goes up to 780 yards. The dial on the 300wsm goes up to 860.Your yardage WILL vary due to muzzle velocity, projectile, altitude chosen, etc.WsmnutWsmnut what kind of dial up range are you getting out of your cds dials? I'm on the fence between the vx6 and the mark 4.

Correct, but you don't have to install the zero stop. But I can't imagine hunting without it.I'm very happy with the performance of this set up. For me, it works great. Even though I change altitudes on hunting trips, the difference isn't that great at the ranges I'm likely to shoot at game. If it were a big difference, I'd just order another dial. Pretty cool that we have all these choices. Something to fit everyone.

The single revolution limit with the zero stop makes the CDs a no go for me. If they had 25 Mao dials I'd be all over it. I agree with Karl on the features of the viper line. But failure will change a guy's mind quickly. I wonder if nightforce can install the zero set elevation dial on a 4-14x56 shv? Probably cost prohibitive since the 5-20 has it and is only $200 more. I'm in the same boat with a new rifle.
Definitely. For a tactical turret hunting scope I loved the features of my vortex but failure doesn't fly with me so here I am . I really want a NF NSX but good lord that's a pile of cash!

I really want a NF NSX but good lord that's a pile of cash!You can just get the CDS scope and not order the custom dial. That's what I do and I end up with a hunting scope with an exposed MOA turret without resorting to larger tacitcal turrets. It's basically the Vortex HS-T without having to own a Vortex. As far as NF scopes go, I don't know if I'd pay full price for one. They're nice but the NXS just doesn't seem $1800 nice to me
Hmmmmm
What's your thoughts on the shv York?
