I actually really like my Vudu, in fact I sold my Vortex 1-6 PST and 1-6 Razor after I got it I liked it so much. Weight, optical clarity, and reticle design (with FFP in mind) were all strong points for me. Illumination is OK but is also a non issue for me, since it's plenty bright enough for low light situations or any scenario when I would want an illuminated reticle. If you want illumination that will sear your retinas like tuna steaks, look elsewhere. My least favorite thing is the exposed knobs, but I haven't had any issues with that so far.

Not great. Made the mistake of thinking it’d be better than a mk6. Not even close.
Shitty illumination. Knobs that can be compromised. I liked the reticle. But the cmr-w556 kicks it’s ass.

I picked up my Vudu new for $815, while a new MK6 is $2200.
$1385 is a big price difference and I would surely hope that the Leupold would be better in some way.
The price difference kinda puts it in a different tier IMO.
