What I really want is a vortex gen ii 1-6 with the reticle from their 1-4, but with another 10-20 moa (or mil equivalent, but I personally prefer moa) of hashmarks to the sides and bottom.
Is that too much to ask for?![]()

Everyone complains about the reticle on the Vortex, big dealbreaker for the majority of people. I think when it came out and people complained they were said maybe we'll do another one in two years.
For 25 oz, they can either put some moa/mil hashes so we can range, or they can sit on it. See you in two years.

I would hope so, it was pretty much built to be exactly that.
Really, I'm in the same boat as most of the other posters.
If it doesn't have mil-based drop and wind references, I'm just not interested. Doesn't mean that anyone else has to agree with me, it's based on my uses and needs.
I'm deciding between a pst1-4, ss1-4, and the vx-r 1.25-4.
Is the Vx-r fast? This is going on a gen purpose/ hd gun and I'm thinking the Firedot is a big advantage for hd. I feel I'm fast with scopes up close but I have timed myself. This will be used mostly close in but reaching out on occasion. What is all your opinion on this, especially the speed of the vx-r patrol? I haven't seen that mentioned anywhere yet except for one YouTube vid.
Yeah, the way I feel too.
I'm honestly surprised it's such a popular 3 gun scope as (for me) the reticle is one of the slowest...and the things aint light.
You can see what I bought, so my opinion will be biased I guess. Besides mil/mil, cost, and the weight...the firedot is another main factor that drew me to the VX-R. For me, illumination isn't for shooting at dusk or anything, it's to speed me up for shooting inside 25yd or so. That said, I don't want a bunch of different areas of the reticle lit up...I want the simplest thing I can get (think Aimpoint). So a bright red dot works, and it's also what I'm used to (after using Aimpoint M2s, C3s, micros).
The only way this combo could be faster is if it were a true 1x.

The 1-6x VX-6 has the same illumination system and is a true 1x and isn't too much more money. I'm kind of surprised that Leupold doesn't put as good of an illumination system in their $1700 MK6 as their $500 VX-R and $800 VX-6.
