The VX5hd is pretty good glass for the money, FOV is good and the ZL turret is great.
A mate just bought this exact VX5, he said the reticle is pretty well sized for a hunting scope, being thin ish but not stupid thin, I have a 3-15 with the Impact 29 reticle and find it is to thin for a hunting scope.
For a SFP cross over scope I think this scope would work well.
