Leupold VX-6HD scopes

[shootem]

Anybody have experience with these scopes? I am considering a Leupold VX-6HD Rifle Scope 34mm Tube 4-24x 52mm CDS-ZL2 from Midway.

[h20hunter]

Yes. Zero complaints.

[Clearcut]

I have one.. first year with it.. it’s worth every penny!

[Crunchy]

I am looking at the 3x18-44.  Should be a sweet set up.

[Duckslayer89]

I have the same exact scope and I’ve been dialing a ton and Hunting a lot with it this year and it’s been flawless. Shot a bear at 680, it tracks perfect

I have the non HD VX6 on my 20-250 and it's been a very nice scope, great optics.  The VX6 HD is supposed to be a little better so it should be a very nice scope.

Have the 4-24 and 7-42.   Work great.  Got custom cds for the 4-24 but just use the stock moa turret on the 7-42 .

I have a VX5HD 3-15×44 and a VX6HD 3-18×50 and both are great. I first had looked at the Nightforce shv but the zero stop or zero set, whatever it is was really mushy,  never stopped at zero on the 2 scopes I looked at. So I chose the Leupold with firedot reticle and couldn't be happier.

FYI to anyone that's in the market for a new VX6 HD Cabela's has the 3-18x44 w/firedot reticle on sale for $1299.

Just might have to pull the trigger.

I'm always on the nice list.  Chris though?............not so much

[weatherbow21]

I have a 4-24x52 for sale, nothing wrong with it, the rifle build I had planned for it fell through

agreed. So we can run it through it’s paces and make sure it’s a good fit for him.... it’s really the responsible thing to do to make sure he doesn’t buy anything that sucks.

I've been eyeing these too..  Debating between the 2-12x42 (Length = 12.5", weight = 16.8 oz) and the 3-18x44 (Length = 13.5", weight = 20.4 oz).  I currently won't shoot past 400-500 yards, and spend a fair amount of time hunting timber on the Westside.  Any thoughts/suggestions?  That price on B&H for the 3-18 is the best I've seen for either.

[b23]

I'd be the 3-18x44 for me.

For the savings I think it would take awhile to notice the 4oz difference between the 2-12 and 3-18. I just couldnt pass up the price at B&H

  for sure

What reticle? How much?
What do you guys think? 3-8 or 4-24?

I have the 4-24 and love it. Wouldn’t want anything else. I have the TMOA reticle it’s sweet! It has the 34mm tube so think of that when buying. Nightforce has nice ultralight rings that are 34mm

[dmoua]

For those of you that own both the VX5 HD and the VX6 HD, is there a big difference in glass clarity?

[h20hunter]

I just held both side by side at the leupold booth at the Puyallup show.....both are very nice.....for the $$$ I'd go with the 5.

[shallowforks]

Dont quote me but I dont think the glass is any different between the 5HD and 6HD. I think the difference is in things like the 6’s ability to auto level the scope during set up and some other features that i cant remember. I have the 30mm 3-18x50. Awesome scope. With no previous experience i was dialing the turret and hitting targets out to 700 on the first day. Firedots a cool feature also.

i own both and glass is the same just extra other things on the 6. The new 4-20x52 VX5HD should be a great scope

[dmoua]

Thank you.
