Leupold VX-6 1-6 Multigun

I did a search and didn't find a thread about this optic. This looks like what most of us in the low-power variable world have been waiting for. What do you guys think:

This model is lacking one very important thing. Illumination. There is a Leupold 1-6 coming out soon with good daylight visible illumination but it will cost twice as much.

It has the FireDot illumination (center dot)

Doh sorry I just went back and re-read the description. I totally missed that.

To be fair, I would prefer more illumination of the reticle.

No. These upper end optics have a pretty good eye-box for practical use. There is a reason that the low powered variable and the TA11 rule tactical class.

Have you used the VX-6? If so, how does the eye box compare to the TR24?

I've owned a few 1-4's, by far and away I've found the TR24 to be the best. I liked it better than my Short dot...1/3 the price - 1/4 the price now that S&B jacked their prices...6oz lighter, better eye box and less fish eye on 1x.

The 2.5mil subtensions on the SPR reticle are pretty coarse, but atleast the turrets match. For $50 more I'd rather have it over the VX-6 with the duplex.

The SPR reticle is not what I want for any application.
Lots of ways for them to make this a winner though.

Agreed no bdc for me

[bp7178]

Outside of issued guns with issued ammunition BDCs are overrated. I'd much rather finer subtentions and I'll work the math.

The SPR reticle would be...(55gr at 3160 FPS, 2.715" scope height)

456 y
628 y
746 y
837 y
912 y
971 y

Which is what my ballistic app gives.

The Leupold manual gives

350 m
550 m
650 m
750 m
850 m

Past the first one i'd rather have a .308.
