I just want to note the supreme elevated position you have for that excellent field of view!Kinda hard to find. Even harder was finding that "simple" windplex reticle, Sportsmans and Bob's both had the "christmas tree" type reticle but not my style for a hunting scope. They do weigh about 5 oz more than VX5 IIRC. Other difference is the cross hairs are seem to be a tad thinner than Leupold VX5. The FOV is so wide at 3x I can see end of 22" barrel in the scope, stunning to me.
