You can't hit what you can't see - Leupold VX-6 7-42x56mm Rifle Scope, 34 mm Tube, Second Focal Plane (SFP)

I can no longer use that as an excuse for missing the gong. This beautiful VX-6 just replaced my budget spotting scope! The exceptional clarity and sharpness at all magnifications is astounding. But it's what I've come to expect from the number of Leupold rifle scopes I've owned over the years. While this scope is by far at the top-end of my scope budget, it certainly did not disappoint. I will do a more in-depth comparison to my Vortex Golden Eagle, but the optics are every bit as good, if not better. I'm very pleased with the TMOA Plus reticle. Wind adjustments are a snap, no need to move the windage dial.
Do I wish it would have come with a 3" sun shade like the competition? YES. But the $50.00+ purchase was worth it.
I'm troubled that it is no longer available from Leupold. It's a tremendous product. I recommend it and would definitely buy it again.
