    Does anyone know where one might pick up one of these Scopes in British Columbia or here in Canada somewhere

    Got my vx5hd 3-15×44 mounted yesterday and went up and tried it out today. Pretty impressed with it. Super easy to setup the zero stop. Amazing how clear it is out to the edges.

I've even tried the lowest brightness setting. For me personally it's a gimmick.
    What Fire dot scope are you referring to? I have VXRs and have found the dot works better than a cross hair.

    That’s a good weight for a rifle in my opinion. I really want one of these scopes. Selling a gun tomorrow so hoping I can order one with the wind plex reticle. It’s going on a Kimber Montana 280ai
