Starting a thread where we can hopefully start capturing information on the new VX6 Gen 2.

I have a source at Leopold saying the turrets are fully redesigned to be more robust and the scope performed flawlessly in updated torture testing. Looking forward to hearing about anyone who gets their hands on one. I may need to pick one up myself and conduct a drop test. If it can pass it would be a great option. Unfortunately I am not optimistic. Now if only they would start offering them in mils.

Can you ask your source for any details on the testing? When I searched previously on this, the most I could find is a YouTube video that briefly shows a front-to-back impact machine, maybe call The Punisher IIRC.

I have a friend who works in their quality department as an engineer.

You ever point him in this direction? Ie to the scope eval threads. I love leupolds as hunting scopes and would love for them to have a reputation of being rock solid and holding zero
