I have not used this in a hunting situation yet but my initial impression is positive about this scope. I sighted it in on my 6. 8 western with no issues. The glass is crystal clear

Sharpness and clarity is second to none. I have several Leupold scopes and have never been let down. The fine duplex is fantastic for the coyote hunting I do in the winter. Edges of this glass is crystal clear even at max magnification.

Great scope for my Ruger made Marlin 1895 Trapper MagPul Edition in 45-70. I loved the ease of use of the FireDot control. The scope is durable, looks great on my rifle and most of all, it functioned flawlessly on its maiden voyage on a Texas Whitetail/Aoudad/Hog hunt. It was perfect for shots out to 150-175 yards.

VX-3HD 1-5-5 Twilight (30mm) - Perfect Short Range Hunting Scope
By Chris G.
I waited patiently for these to become available and grabbed one as soon as they were in stock. This scope replaced a Steiner PX4i 1-4 on my 450 Bushmaster deer rifle and it checks all the boxes. The Steiner was an awesome scope, but this one is clearer, brighter, lighter, and just as rugged - without a cluttered/busy reticle.
