Great range of adjustment. Finish and fitment to the chassis is good and solid overall, but mine must have been a Friday model. There are milling marks inside the cavities, plastic thumb screw heads popped off the screws, and the threaded holes were not fully tapped. The design is great, the cheek piece can adjust very low, allowing lower scope mounting. Ability to add weight and a bag rider is great, just need to get QC in order.

The single etched dot is a very useful, simple idea. I also threw mine on an AK, and it looks and functions great in that application. Glass isn't perfect, but plenty good for inside 200 yards. Being second focal, the dot appears smaller at high mag which is perfect. Up close it's big and easy to find on 1x, and you can extend the range and get better precision with a higher mag and smaller dot subtension. The dot is wonderfully crisp. Illumination can go VERY bright and cause tube illumination and bleeding, but there are enough settings you can dial to an appropriate level for any scenario. Only gripe is that the illumination dial is very stiff. Turret clicks are surprisingly crisp. Didn't check tracking, and don't plan to. For my use zero retention is all that matters, and it's gtg in that regard.

The weight, balance, and ergonomics are good. My action and bottom metal fit exceptionally well with no modification needed. Accuracy is great. I didn't see a marked improvement, but my rifle already shot very well, and it did not take away from that. Where Woox missed the mark was in QC and fit and finish of the stock itself. Mine arrived with the cheekpiece detached and loose in the box. Hardware was loose and crooked. The front foregrip wood was loose and would flex upward when rested. Front attachment screw was bottomed out. Broke the stock down and found the entire front half is held on with three little screws and can inherently put a ton of leverage on the mounting area. I epoxy bedded the area and resolved that issue. The inside of the barrel channel is left unfinished, and looks cheap since you can see it around a medium profile barrel. The finish is not very durable. My rifle was placed on a concrete bench- not fired or subject to recoil- and the wood and bottom pic rail were heavily scuffed. Overall, the good far outweighs the bad, but it's not all sunshine and roses like the reviews posted on the Woox website might indicate.

I resisted purchasing these, thinking I could improvise a homemade solution, or that the lights wouldn't work that well. After coming up with some ridiculous ideas and wasting a lot of time, I finally gave in and added these to an order. For recording velocities indoors, I don't think you could beat the ease of setup and use, and most importantly the ability to capture EVERY shot in varied light conditions. The only reason I withheld a star is that they only include a 110V wall adapter. It would have been nice and made a lot of sense to include a way to power them off of a 9V battery or two. They provide instructions for cutting the wires and rigging multiple batteries to get the correct voltage, which would ruin the wall plug and be anything but convenient. Still for basement, barn or garage use, I'd have to recommend these.

Excellent build quality and finish. Leveling the scope was easier than a conventional split ring, and the design inherently aligns to the tube for better contact. Adjusting the QD levers is simple, and lockup on a rail is solid. You can truly set your zero, remove, and reinstall without losing zero. Very impressive. The deduction of a star is due to the design of the rings. With the screws securing the halves together being located above the scope tube, there has to be a lot of material on top, and it completely blocks the line of sight to the turret. Unless you are absolutely sure you counted the right number of clicks, you will have to raise your head entirely off the weapon to look down at the turret markings. For me it's a minor inconvenience, but for more competitive shooters, that could be a problem. Other than that, I can't think of a thing I would change, and will buy more when the need arises.

It can be tricky setting this up on tapered barrels and barrels with limited real estate due to an extended handguard. However, once set up it stays put and records everything that flies past it. The features of the V3 are nice, but at that point you might as well commit to the LabRadar. This works well, is simple to use, easy to pack in a range bag, and well worth it, especially if setting up a traditional style is difficult or prohibited at your range.

Construction seemed decent, and it was fairly light in weight. The design makes it bulky, and it doesn't look very good on a streamlined AR build. My real issue was the slop in the stock. Way too much wiggle and movement. I checked sizes, and they sent a milspec stock with a commercial tube. I contacted Leapers directly since it wasn't OPs fault, and initially they seemed to agree that there was an issue, and were helpful in trying to make things right. They said it would be a while because of the pandemic, which was understandable. Over the course of months however, they continued making excuses, even after the initial Covid panic was over and retailers had stocks and tubes in stock everywhere. I would email every few weeks for updates, and it was always another excuse for why they couldn't replace the stock or tube to make the fitment right. Then Leapers stopped responding altogether. I could never get a human on the phone either, and finally just gave up. I tried seeing if OP would stand behind the product, but I "waited too long" for them to get involved. Could be a good value item, but Leapers dropped the ball on quality and customer service. Buyer beware.

For the price, this is an outstanding tool, and a great compliment to any reloading bench. For moderate loads it measures dead on to what my beam scale reads, deviating a small but consistent 1/10th grain lower reading as I approach an 82 grain load- or higher. I would not use this as a stand alone for precision rifle loads, as it does creep and need to be tared a few times as it warms up. It also has a tendency to "stick" if you use a trickler, and then "jump" several tenths at a time, often resulting in a higher-than-target charge. I do often use mine to weigh pistol loads, AR loads, 450 Bushmaster, etc. as I have grown to trust its ability to read accurately within a few tenths of a grain, which is good enough for those rounds. I also use it as a quick check to verify loads that I've measured on the beam scale, as the beam has gotten "stuck" once or twice while using the trickler as well. Also works great for weight sorting bullets. It can be sensitive to item placement on the scale; You can introduce a few tenths or error by lightly placing the load, versus a more direct application of the load. As long as you are consistent, the scale will be too. For ~$40 it's a steal, just understand what you're getting.

This item is well made, well finished, and lightweight. It looks good installed, and locks up tight to an M-LOK rail. It loses one star for size. It is so slim and low profile, it's almost more of a large hand stop than a grip. The BCM gunfighter is longer and much fatter, so you can actually get ahold of it if you want to. With this, you will probably have to c-clamp your rail and use this as a stop. Not a big deal, that's pretty much how I'd use it most of the time anyway, but still worth noting. The single M-LOK nut seems to have plenty of holding power, and allowed me to install closer to my gas block than other styles, so that's a plus. It was nice they included an allen wrench, even if it was bowed, kinked, and twisted straight out of the package. Haha! Still worked.

I wanted a high zoom do-all scope that would serve well for intermediate load development, act as a spotter, and get me out to at least 1000yds. I struggled with choosing this versus the lower powered Mark 5, as this had the top end zoom, the reticle I preferred, and more common tube size for mounts and accessories. I was afraid the turrets on the VX-6 would be a let-down when it came to dialing, and they absolutely were. I loved everything else about the image color, contrast, resolution, and brightness, and the other adjustments were great. To me, the turrets felt spongy, with a slight amount of backlash, click spacing too close, and the turret marking on the elevation was difficult to line up with the witness mark on the body in a hurry. I had not used the CDS option in the past, but I didn't like the idea of making a load specific turret, as bullet and powder availability change, new products are introduced, and even a proven load can track differently in weather. Then I learned that Leupold will send you a tall target turret marked in MOA in place of your CDS option for nothing! It transformed my scope into exactly what I wanted. The new turret fits and blends to the scope body perfectly, is far easier to read and grip, and improves the click feel by a factor of ten. Unfortunately they don't offer a windage option, but since that's usually just a matter of holding, I am now thrilled with the scope. It does everything I want, and tracks well. I wish the generic tall turre
