This is a pre-HD style VX-6 from about 10 years ago that is in fantastic shape. It is illuminated with the very desirable circle dot reticle for fast acquisition. The glass is perfect and there are no ring marks. There are two faint scratches on the edge of the turret caps, which I tried to picture. There is a CDS dial set up for a short barreled .308, but this is better suited as a DG scope with the capped turret (I will include both). The scope is located in D/FW and I will give preference to local buyers.

$850 shipped to an established member only. Thanks!

Why do you feel it’s better as a capped turret DG scope rather than using the CDS dial? Looking for something like this to save weight for a short range elk woods rifle but like to dial if a shot presents itself.
 
The old style CDS dials didn’t have the zero lock, which is a much more reliable system. I also don’t like the look. It’s just a personal preference, however.
 
In case anyone doesn't know, that scope on a low setting with the illumination on functions like a red dot, just bigger and heavier but also has the flexibility of magnification. In fact if you shoot both eyes open with your dominant eye on the scope at 1 or 1.5x, you could pack mud in the objective and still see the illuminated reticle on the target;) Same with any other brand in a similar situation. I honestly think my VX 6 scopes are about 90% of a Z6 Swarovski.

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks

hi, do you know about lions hunters, leopard hunters, and crocodiles hunters of years 1930s-1950s
I'm new to Africa Hunting. I would like to purchase a Heym 450-400 double rifle. I'm left-handed but would prefer a non-canted gun. Is anyone in the community considering parting with theirs?
