Pro's - lighter weight (then what I own already). Smaller package (then what I own currently). Awesome FOV for the bush.

My only concern is how much light the 24mm Objective will let in on the Vx5 and Vx6. I've never looked through one. Will it be a hinderance at first and last light?

Does anyone hunt with these style of scopes?
Most reviews I've seen on youtube for these style of scopes are for 3- Gun Competitions and such.
I’ ve Killed a ton of deer and moose with low powered scopes and and irons some of them at a distance many consider “ unshootable” with those sighting systems !
Fir low light conditions a 1-4x or fixed 4 or 6X scope works fantastic .
Shortest kill last year for example was 40 yards on a white tail and the longest was 254 yards on a moose calf with a 200 meter zero .
