My favorite scope. I have two 4.5-14X50 in the VX-L and love them. I picked my second one up off of Ebay new in box a few years ago. Got one of those sitting on my .243, love it.

I had a couple 56mm scopes, I just used the taller rings With these wrap around 56mm scopes I use the low rings.That way you can get your cheek right down on the cheek rest and line up alot better down low on your rifle.Love them.I don't like having to hold my head up high on the rifle.Throws everything out of whack for me.I shoot alot better with my setup.

I like to get mine right where if I close my eyes and mount the gun I should be looking right through the scope when I open my eyes. That's usually as low as the scope can go and I have to add some cheek pad. I always chuckle when someone brings out the see through rings because they put a 5-11 power on their brush gun.

I guess I never noticed that, I never had trouble finding the fox or coyote in the scope, Eve at a full run

I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

Lol......Deer yards are all cut down and gone.Coyotes are slaughtering the deer herd.No Sunday hunting.Fisher exclusion boxes so we can't catch a lynx which we should be able to trap.Covered rat floats now in order to spring muskrat trap.......Maine is not what it used to be.
