a sUPErIOr IMagE at EVEry rangE
Many higher power scopes provide the
best picture at each end of the zoom ratio,
leaving the middle ranges weaker on
clarity and resolution. The VX-6 was
engineered from the outset to provide
consistently exceptional image quality
across the entire visual field throughout
the entire zoom range. Put it to your eye
and see for yourself what our dedicated
American engineering staff can do.
gEnErOUs EyEbOX
Get on target faster and easier for the shot of a
lifetime. Even at higher powers, the longer eye
relief and generous eyebox provides incredible
head position latitude; edge-to-edge
clarity; and a full, bright sight picture
that fills the eyepiece completely.
