      It is the TMOA 6.5-20X50 LRP. Over all impressed so far, turret clicks are positive and clarity is good. It seemed to track fine during sight in but we haven't stretched it out yet. Bryce has come to like the reticle, I'm not convince that I wouldn't prefer a plain duplex...

      Randy on here has more range time behind the LRP than I do, he has stretched it out and reported great tracking.

      I will have one on my rifle soon [emoji6]

        We have one on a demo gun in the shop. Have not spent much time behind it since sighting it in, but I really like what I see so far. Love the reticle. If it tracks, I could see a couple on hunting rigs in my future.

          That's good stuff no matter how you slice it.

          Heck of a bench too. I assume it doesn't wiggle any. [emoji1]

            All my son's shooting. I guess we have reached the time that the master succumbs to the student...

                I was just about to ask you how y'all liked the LRP. Glad to hear he is enjoying it, he's dang sure making it do work.

                I heard the vx3i, 5i and VX-6HD are all using the same glass. Also heard the 3i has less bells & whistles than the 5i and same relationship with the 5i to 6HD.

                Wish I knew the exact differences between them all.

                They also just brought back the Mark 4 line. Wish I knew what glass they are using in it as well.

                  Randy,

                  Pretty sure LEU discontinued Mark4 sales to civilians. They got a huge gov't contract .... https://www.google.com/amp/www.thefi...forcement/amp/

                  Old inventory (NIB) is still out there; however dealers cannot order new Mk4 from scopes. Cabelas had a blow-out sale of Mk4 scopes for $699 in December

                  Call customer service to verify the aforementioned link

                    This is correct. They are going to introduce the Mark 5 line of scopes this summer/fall with some marked improvements.

                      I got the most recent guide and outfitter price list last week and it had the Mark 4 and the VX-5I that wasn't there a few months ago when I got my first LRP. Maybe they sent me the wrong list.

                        Son's new APR

                        We got it out to 1000 this weekend and between the rifle and the scope it was by far the easiest to dope of any rifle I have worked with. Every range from 200 to 800 he hit dead on consistent but at 1000 he was about 1 MOA high. Looks like I can add a little velocity to the calcs and fix the 1000 hit without messing up the other ranges much at all.

                        He ran out of loads, once he re-loads he will back it back to 100 to confirm the scope returns to zero.

                          Very nice! Does the Standars VX-3i have the same glass as the LRP? I'm assuming that the only difference is the reticle and turrets?

                            That is my belief but there are others here much more informed than I.

                              Is that orange strap on your bench to keep it from flying off? Lol.
                              Great shooting. I just picked up a 6 Creed from them and ready to start load development.
