Yeah, I read that thread. I was hoping that some more people had some experience with the scopes over the last year plus. But LL's approval always helps when trying to decide on products you may not have a chance to use firsthand before you buy.
Currently considering purchasing the Mark 6 3-18x44. I used the Mark 6 1-6 with the lower profile type turret last year for a bit.
There are now more models available with the new low profile M5C2 for the 3-18. It's been some time as far as I can tell since anyway here gave their thoughts...
