has anyone looked at the new Leupold VX-6 7-42 power yet?
Any one have one? shooting one?

I had one it broke I sent it back for repair and I got it back still broke. I sent it back again and they sent me a new one and it was broke too. I am still waiting for my refund.

I have one. Shot it in F-Open at the Regional long range match at Deep Creek in Missoula last month over three days (800, 900 and 1K). Functioned flawlessly, great glass, reticle, turrets. Also, have been practicing here in Cody, WY under a variety of conditions. Very pleased.

The side focus was put together wrong you could feel parts moving inside and making a clunking noise

Been putting mine though its paces from 100 to 1000 and moving the parallax back and forth with as much force and speed as I can, I told you in an earlier post I'd try and see if I could make it fail. So far its very repeatable, Going to shoot 1000 yards this Sunday, give it one last test for the year!

You got lucky Joe and got a good one. leupold is probably still trying too figure out who was building them wrong and how many bad scopes are out there.I am glad it is working for you.

Just wondering, are these new Leupold VX6 7X42X56 smaller then the comparable Nightforce scopes?

about 1.5 inches shorter and 1 oz. lighter

 

[lawman29]

The Leupold has a larger tube 34mm vs 30mm and objective 56mm vs 52mm and more eye relief 3.90" at max power vs 3.15".

It also has 13x less power, since you are looking at the specs.

 

[lawman29]

Yes but you can turn it down to 7x when you go out to the deer blind...
