I was hoping to help the op along with the sale, it's a great buy. Yes, I actually owned the 4-20 VX5. The 3.6-18 is better across the board and does it with less bulk.

I personally can't compare a Mark5 to a VX5. Completely different scopes. @southpa dump your VX5 & buy this thing. I have 3 of em & yes you can kill a deer at 1000yds +Have you compared the mark5 3.6-18 to a vh5hd 4-20. Again, not hijacking. Trying to decide. If the OP would like I'll move on and post questions elsewhere.
I have the same scope on my cooper 6 cm and had no problem taking precise aim and taking a coyote at 851 yards and a porkypine at 805. Great scopes looking at get anouthet form my 22 cmDo you feel this scope has enough on the top end for longer shots? Let's say out to 1000 on deer sized game?
