There are a couple of guys on here that have them and think they're fantastic scopes. 257 Weatherby has one and likes it. I think my next scope buy will be either a VX 5 or VX 6. I think the VX 6 2x12 will be perfect atop my 338 win mag.

$870 to be exact. Use SWFA price match plus 10%. Gun pro deals has it for $900 free shipping. Then go to swfa tell them they will do 10% off the match price comes to $870

Guess I’ll know what I’ll be doing in the morning. So what height rings are you using on the 56. I like a scope as low as I can get them

Depends on taper of barrel but I use Talley highs on my 56’s. No need for super high

No brained for me I bought the 3-15x44 right after hunting season this year. Did the SWFA price match, but by the time I ordered it, they had put it on sale. I figured the price match discount code wouldn't give me as much off, but it gave me the original discount off the sale price. I ended up with $680 something in it. I have to thank cuz-pat for that deal! He told me where to look for the best price at the time ...

SWFA is a great outfit.
I feel kinda bad using 110% every time I order from them but I mean if they offer it, well alrighty then. Thanks for showing a few of us how to use it last year!

257 - You have seen them both. Which one do you like better for low light performance, this one, or the Swaro you bought last December?

The older 3-12-56 habicht nova. I had a z6i and yes that would beat the Vx5 a tad. But I think the vx5hd is leupolds best offering yet. And I have regular vx6’s Which are might good. But the 5 walks off and leaves it behind
