New Gen 2 Leupold

[Scottf270]

Just saw an announcement for a Vx5 Gen 2 with competition grade adjustments. There were other things like toolless resettable turrets etc. With all the doubt about their ability to track and their durability, it would be nice to see some improvement.

Haha. Nothing has changed. Every single “new” version the same tired statements are made about them “unproved”, “updated. Nothing changes.

They’re on like 3 revisions/generations of the Mark 5- because nothing at all is wrong with them….

Do you have some experience with the VX5 Gen 2?

But don't resent their inability to hold zero?
