Hey Friends, I just wanted to share my thoughts and experience with Alpha 6 optics. I had purchased the 4.5 x 27 x 50 mm scope but upon arrival I was concerned that the reticle was so fine that I would be unable to use it effectively and in fact intended to return it. I ordered a Vortex as a replacement. After receiving some information and comments from Odoyle I decided that I would give the Alpha a try. Well I installed on a brand new LW barreled factory regulated Marauder and put it in service. I quickly realized that (as seems to be the norm for Odoyle) his information was spot on correct. The scope is clear and bright throughout the magnification range, the AO markings are spot on with my measurements on my backyard range which goes out to 300 yards. After a few shots to dial in zero at 25 yards I was consistently shooting Aspirin tablet sized 5 shot groups at 25 yards and just over 1" 10 shot groups at 50 yards. The illumination is bright when needed and I found that the fine reticle in fact seemed to allow for more precise shot placement on target. I think I could shoot ants at 25 yards with the clarity of this scope. Needless to say, the Vortex will be returned. Thanks Odoyle for sound advice! I would like to install a wheel on the AO knob for ease of adjustment and would appreciate any information on finding one. I am new to the PCP world and am loving the quiet, vibration and recoil free shooting of this platform. More rifles to come! Thanks Odoyle for the sound advice!
