maddox Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 I just wish it had marks every mil instead of every 2.5 mils. The fire dot is very bright on my vx-r. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dohboy Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Do they offer this scope in different reticles? Anyone know what the asking price is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MstngLX50 Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 After fighting my way through an SPR reticle enough times I know I'd want at least 1 mil, but would prefer half mil graduations. My hold being off by a half mil at 400 yards puts me 7" behind the power curve before the bullet even leaves the barrel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deathtrap Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 I want to check one of these out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gng4life Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Anyone have one of these yet? I talked to Leupold and I should have one coming soon but I won't know until Monday. I would really like some feedback from shooters who have the Multigun scope and can give some pros/cons or a brief review...Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlosa Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 SPR reticle makes me sad On the mark 4 1.5x5 it was totally useless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Anderson Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 It's not the SPR reticle from the 1.5-5. It's the same reticle in the standard VXR. Basically a crosshair with the crosshair and a dot in the center. It's got a mark 2.5 Mil from the center. Looks like I'll be in the ballpark with a 200 yard zero. Still waiting on a new rifle to mount it to. Really hoping it arrives this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gng4life Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 In case anyone is wondering, I finally talked to a guy at the Leupold Custom Shop who knew what he was talking about. One guy told me it would take 6-8 weeks while the guy I talked to the second time told me it would be shipped in a day or two. The second guy was right, it has already shipped and should be here in a few days. Also, I just found out that DSG Arms has them in stock and they usually ship the same day - good people to deal with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corey Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Looks like an interesting scope. Anyone making a throw lever for it yet?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gng4life Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Looks like an interesting scope. Anyone making a throw lever for it yet?? I looked up the MGM Switchview and they make one it says for "VX-6". I assume all of them are the same (for all the VX-6 scopes) but I am going to call tomorrow to make sure and then put one on order... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R-Bros_JLR Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 We have a couple that we'll be running at the NWMG match if anyone wants to check them out. I've been out of town working since I got it and haven't had a chance to mess with it much but it seems like a pretty good scope so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coming from you would be a lot more credible than from me The SVMAPT Switchview will work for all of the VX-6 scopes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccoker Posted July 16, 2012 Author Share Posted July 16, 2012 I have ran mine in a match works great, I run a 200 yard zero with it the first hash mark is 2.5 mills down and is my 500 yard hold 250 yard plates I just hold dead on intermediate distances require a hold to the top or bottom works great on steel plates at 100 yards at 1x reticle is plenty bright in Texas sun close targets are fast as well overall, very happy with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gng4life Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Thanks Ccoker! I just got mine mounted and will be going to the range in the next day or two. So far, I really like glass and the reticle. The dot is so bright! I went in the back yard and with the sun beating down, it was very visible. I like the idea of the 200 yd zero, I will probably do the same. I was a little confused, where exactly is your hold for close-up paper targets? What ammo are you using? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StravIs09 Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 i have been looking at scopes for awhile online and looking thru the glass in person, the vx 6 is 899 and they have 3 different reticles w/ illumination. i would love to see a review and or see one in person. looking like a pretty good scope and for 900$ might be a steal?

tiger49931 Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 just ordered mine and should be in in the next 4 days cant wait to go and mess with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Donald Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 How is the eye relief? I checked out a Vortex 1-6 and was amazed how forgiving the eye box is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBamBoo Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 I also have one. I have not had much time behind it yet, but so far it seems like it is going to be ok. The eye box is pretty forgiving. There is a bit of tunneling at 1X,but that is to be expected with scope (the long scope body) and not a red dot,etc. I have only shot out to 500 METERS with it but had no problem hitting steel at that distance using the second hash mark (5 mils...100 yard zero) held dead on. I was shooting 75gr bthp out of a 18" JP at about 2600fps. Take care,Stan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Donald Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Stan How is the eye box at 4-6X? That is where I find most scopes very sensitive to eye relief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBamBoo Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 It is pretty good. I am use to 20-40X scopes (600 and 1000 yard shooting) so to me it is pretty forgiving. I have not used this rifle a lot yet. I had a Leupold 1.5-5X and this VX-6 is much better then that one. Take care,Stan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRicks Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 I shot my first match with my VX6 Multigun last Saturday at BGSL engaging targets from 5 to 175 yards. I found the scope to be very easy to get behind and gain a sight picture from standing, kneeling and prone. The dot was very visible and helped a ton with getting the reticle on target. I give it a lot of credit in a 3rd place stage finish on the "long range" stage. I didn't have to change magnification on the clock, but I think the Switchview is a wise investment for this optic.

Wild Gene Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Have these dropped off the face of the earth? I have one, and am very happy with it, but have not seen much recently regarding this optic. I am very curious what people are saying after using this scope for a few months.

BradfromND Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 I'm considering switching get to one of these after this season. I found 1 place that lists them online but that is it. My local dealer can't even find them listed in the leupold book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
