I have a couple of these 6x42's and have used them for over 20 years.
Not comparing it with the current $1000-2000 scopes of course, but it is impressive early mornings and late late afternoons.
Any members here use these 6's on their hunting rifles?

I have one that was mounted on a 22 rimfire but it didn't have enough field of view at rimfire distances so I swapped it out with a 2-7 variable.

I don't care for that much magnification for general hunting as I usually use variables at the 2X-3X setting and then dial up for longer shots.

I had one on a rifle in Africa - the three dot reticle. I built a 7mm Rem Mag load that perfectly corresponded to the dots out to 500 yards with a 200 yard zero.

Sadly, the biggest issue I had with the scope was that it was too much power under 30 yards. It was absolutely perfect though from about 50 yards on.

I've had a few, they were almost a cult item for a few years in some circles. It's a hard thing to describe but that are so easy to get behind, its like its hard to do something wrong. the term eye-box gets thrown around a lot. Glass and coatings being equal a fixed power always is a bit better optically. That's what happens when you aren't making compromises.

Mine all seemed to migrate to my son's rifles and my in-line muzzleloaders. For him it was my way of making his life simple. He still uses them and his variables are always left on 6 as well. For me; well I like my variables, exposed turrets and parallax adjustments
