I was down to NF and Maven. I went with Maven because I felt it was a better reticle. The more I use the RS1.2 the more I believe I made the absolute right choice.
Do you want FFP or SFP? The Leupy VX5 is SFP. If you are long range shooting and want to hold for wind I would think you’d want a FFP scope.
I pretty much keep all my scopes on 6ish power when I hunt. Even still hunting whitetail in the timber. At 6x the FFP is very useable and the Maven has illumination if you wish to use it. I did this year right at first light and found it helpful.
I wanted to like the Trijicon tree but it’s way too busy.
Objective diameter is important as it relates to exit pupil. Your eye cannot utilize more than 7mm of exit pupil (this gets less as you age) so in reality an exit pupil of more than 5-6 is wasted. At 10x a 44mm objective lense gives you an exit pupil of 4.4.
