Powerful scope

Perfect scope for a sporter style rifle. Clear, compact and plenty of power range. I took an antelope with it at 405 yards it's first time in the field.

I highly recommend Leopold VX-6

The clarity and light gathering ability of my Leopold VX-6 scope are second to none. I highly recommend this scope and look forward to hunting with it this Fall. I have been a Leopold owner for 45 years and would not consider any other brand for my back country hunting adventures.

AWESOME GLASS

Great optic for my 6.5 PRC! I would have any other scope on a mid range hunting rifle!

AMAZING OPTIC!!

This was my first VX-6 and needless to say I am thoroughly impressed. Amazing clarity and industry leading power to weight ratio. Great job again Leupold. #sweepstakes

Great Scope

The scope is clear all the way to the edges. I still haven't locked down the load so I can send in for the custom turret. The scope is on a Weatherby 6.5x300 in a MK 5 ultra light. I've had zero issues with the scope. I like the magnification range. I bought it expecting that it would be great and it is.

Leopold is the best

This is my second purchase of this scope. I put this recent purchase on my Ruger 6.5 Creedmoor for an antelope hunt on New Mexico. All my scopes are Leopold and I can find no better scope for clarity ruggedness, and ease of use

I like this scope so much I'm going to buy another one.

What can I say, it's a great scope. I've got 5 Leupold scopes now and they haven't let me down yet.

Dialing in yardage

There is nothing out there better. CDS system is like taking candy from a baby when it comes to Dialing in yardage

I would buy again

I bought this scope to replace a vx5. I put this scope on a Christensen Ridgeline 300 wsm and plan to use it for long range target shooting and elk hunting

I would buy this again.

Instead of buying new rifles I'm upgrading the scopes, this is an outstanding scope and I'm amazed at how clear it is.

No buyers remorse.

I've always been in the $300-500 range for scopes. This is my first in a higher price range and I'll never go back. The Fire Dot has helped my groups and I'm looking forward to the cross hairs on game.

With out a doubt the scope I've had

Love this scope!!! Crystal clear and the lighted reticle works perfect. I have it on top of a Tikka T3X in 308. Couldn't ask for anything better

I haven't used it enough to recommend it. Needs fine tuning

I am unsure about this scope at this time. Haven't been able to shoot as much as I would like with it yet. I got a custom turret to a bullet that was shooting well for me. Once I got it dialed in at 200 yards I went to 300 with the thought of clicking the turret and adjustments would be made. The adjustments didn't work at all it seemed. Another issue is the center red dot does not always work. It takes many clicks of the button to turn it on or off at times. The scope is very clear and good in low light conditions.

Great Scope!!

Hunted with this scope for the first time last weekend. Great "Bang for the Buck". Performance is what I have received from European scopes that cost a great deal more. Good in low light conditions. Easy to pick up your target. Crystal clear images. It was raining/snowing, no problems with fogging! Well done Leupold!!
