[QUOTE="StanB, post: 1517933, member: 35558"] I've been shooting a Leupold VX6 3-18x44 for 3 years. IMO, it is a good mid-range glass, both power & price wise, and keeps the weight & front objective bulk down on a hunting / packing rifle. It has the Boone & Crockett reticle which is great for hunting as it really stand out on game in dim light, even with the illuminated reticle off. There 2 minor things I don't like about it: First, the reticle is "slightly" thick for shooting groups at 500+ yards. It works ok, but could be a little finer if for target work especially at 700+. Second, there are no windage holdoff marks directly on the main horizontal stadia. There are ~10mph width bars for each of the first 2 elevation lines below the horizontal stadia, but they are approximate, and there are only 2 of them (for the 300 & 400 yd lines). If I were going to upgrade this, I'd be giving the March scopes a good look.... [/QUOTE]
