Trying to collect some first hand knowledge as to wether the mark 5 would be worth ponying up the extra coin (double) to get the mark 5. It's going on a Sendero 7mm until I get my 7SAUM. Main use will be used for back country bear Hunting. (300-1000) Accasional long range steel shooting, as far as I can get comfortable.
 
If u have the coin I would go the mark 5 over the VX3i LRP.
i had the LRP and it did have tracking issues and found the reticle to be out once it got over around 15X.
