Yeah it's the vx3 1.75-6, it cost me a few ounces to go with it over the 1.5-5. I'm pretty impressed with the quality so far as I didn't know what to expect when I bought it (never looked through a vx3 before). I'll have it out at the range in a day or two to compare it with other scopes and get a better impression of it.
The 15" handguard, the AR Gold trigger, the TPS rings, and the scope all added a little weight to the initial estimation.
I am considering a few other parts to lighten it up, but at this point it comes at a cost that I was trying to avoid.
I brought it out the other day and got the gas block adjusted properly. It cycles nicely, I didn't have any issues.
