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]

Viht N165 powder, Fed 210M primers and 150g LRAB's.
All my son's shooting. I guess we have reached the time that the master succumbs to the student...

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.

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.
