The best in price range - Leupold VX-6HD 3-18x44mm Rifle Scope, 30mm Tube, Second Focal Plane

Having A few VX6’s I found it hard to believe it could be improved upon. On one of my Bolt actions I did want the illumination feature which was not available at the time in my favorite TMOA reticle. Instead of sending in this one to Leupold for upgrade , I decided to move this one to another rifle and try a VX6HD with the impact 29 illuminated reticle and wow, eyebox still typical Leupold which is fantastic. My Nightforce F1 which I like a lot as well does not compare in eyebox size. The zero locking turrets are nice feature as well as the blinking reticle when the rifle is offcenter. Reticle brightness is very useful in all light situations which does come in handy even in daylight if you’re aiming at a dark color or shaded spot especially at a dark target. Another downfall of my NF which is illumination not visible until it is sundown or near. The only downfall of my other Leupolds was the super stiff magnification dials which was addressed on this model! Nice and smooth and even tho not needed comes with an extended throw lever which is very nice. Topping it off including Alumina lens covers absolutely the best period. That’s $150 worth of extras that make it even a sweeter package in the price range. Very sweet scope to say the least.
