Rynnäkökivääri 62 Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Hmm, not much more I can add to the topic name really. I've seen it for sale on multiple websites now, going from older threads on this forum it didn't use to have illumination but the ones on sale now does. The scope looks like it could work really well for 3-gun and it's very nicely priced too, the reticle selection could've been better but I guess a german #4 could work quite nicely. I've not seen any reviews so far on this scope and I am very curious about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve RA Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 I can't even find a VX6 on the Leupold site. Where did you see one ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert King Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Last I checked, it was not out yet. Early 2012 is what I heard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was seeing them on various online stores and figured they where out for sale: http://swfa.com/Leupold-VX-6-Riflescopes-C3457.aspx http://www.opticsplanet.net/leupold-vx-6.html You are right though I cannot find a VX-6 on leupolds site either so maybe these places are just putting them up without being able to deliver?

fastarget Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 sport optics lists them as well, http://www.sportoptics.com/leupold-vx6-rifle-scopes.aspx Good price for a quality name 1-6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwx40x40 Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Wish they would have used the BDC type reticle that is shown with the 2x12. That would have been pretty sweet . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caz41 Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 No BDC reticle? Anyone actually looked through one of these yet? They had them on display at last years SHOT show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert King Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 They will be available with custom reticles, shortly after they are released. I called Leu, a few months ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccoker Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 (edited) The illuminated version should be available in the next month or so I was talking with their marketing director this morning and we discussed this scope My feedback was to make sure that it's DAYTIME bright! and to offer a basic mildot or TMR reticle for it, not a BDC reticle They are coming out with their Mark 6 scopes which will have zero stops, 34 mil tubes, 6x erector so a 1-6, exposed turrets, etc.. I told him if the VX6 1-6 was setup right it could be a hot seller for 3g shooters I have one on order with them for review We also discussed custom reticles through the custom shop being a 2nd plane scope a mildot or TMR type reticle would have to calibrated at 6x and I don't believe they have one.. If we can collect some feedback here I would be more than happy to deliver it Will be meeting with him at SHOT in a few weeks Edited December 29, 2011 by ccoker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AustinT Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 TMR with a 1 or 2 minute dot in the middle would be a fantastic reticule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aheadofthecurve Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 (edited) I looked through the prototype at last year's shot show and I thought it looked good. The dealbreaker was the crosshair reticule. IF they fix that and make it daylight bright, its a great scope. From what I remember, it was true 1x.

gose Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 (edited) They have to come out with a better reticle and make sure the illumination is daytime bright (not just visible), or come way down in price.

jwfuhrman Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 If they had it with a Horseshoe type reticle with range lines(basically the GRSC or Burris XTR 1-4 reticle) I would buy it in a heart beat. But they dont, so I bought the GRSC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What would be a suitable reticle for this type of shooting? Horseshoe? What about the reticle selection from the VX-R 1.2-4x?

Rob Now you have to spill the beans on this one, how's the illumination (daylight visible?), what reticle, FFP/SFP (pretty sure its SFP)?
