Well crap, he completely re did his website. He used to have it there. Basically the article you read has the high points---if you don't want to spend $1700, buy a PST or the Burris.

Personally, I went with the PST. His only real complaint about it was the weight.. its a good scope.

How is the eye relief and durability on the VX-6HD, and does it use that funky push-button thing Leupold used to use?

Eye relief is good, don't have an exact measurement for you. As far as long term durability I have it on an AR-10 'pistol' with no complaints so far, but I haven't ran hundreds of rounds through it yet. After a lot of research it seems to get about the same reviews as the Razor. I personally am not a fan of the Razor reticle and like the horseshoe BDC, the dot in the center of the horseshoe is nice and small so you should be able to get some pretty good precision out of it. It is the funky push button for the illumination but it's very easy and quick to use. I don't know if they've changed how it operates but any firedot scopes I messed with while working at the gun store 10 years ago seemed to be a lot weirder, the push button on the VX-6 is a quick push to turn on and it's back to the previous brightness from when you turned it off. Now that it's warming up I should have the chance to run it at a bit longer distances to see how well I can get it dialed in.

$650 with QD Mount.

I have two of the Vortex Optics PST 1-4 Gen 1 scopes, and love them. I should have gotten a few more, while they aren't perfect, they are above and beyond wonderful at the price point.

A Swampfox Arrowhead and a good mount would fit your budget.

I have an older VX6 Multigun on an AR10 with about 5,000 rds through it with no issues. Eye relief is good, glass is clear, and it's WAY lighter than the Vortex. Illum is "shake awake" so it's off until you pick it up. Not good for a trunk gun, but perfect for a home/competition gun.

As for "fragile" - I call BS. I'm very hard on it with 3-gun and centerfire biathlon competitions (almost 200k total of hardcore running/falling/crawling/obstacle course type stuff with the rifle bouncing on my back or dragged through the mud with me) in the worst weather out there and it's always held zero and never had an issue.
