The 1-6 was impressive for the money.
But I never bonded with mine. I just didn't like the reticle too much. I used to like donut types but somewhere along the line I wanted crosshairs with just a dot in middle. I actually went to a 1-4 with better glass. That one is not holding me back either.
I found shooting 3 gun a few times that more magnification doesn't help unless the glass can take advantage of the extra mag. And, most importantly, the skill of the shooter is not improved with higher magnification, lol.
I do find the new 1-6x24 PST Viper one quite interesting.
