Alpha 6 owners check in!

Me LIKEY... think I may need a second also, thanks YO!

I got one in last week and my thoughts are same. Its a great scope for the price . The side parallax adjustment knob is fine for me and the yardage marks are spot on. The illuminated reticle works great and is very bright. The clarity of this scope is on par with my Arken SH4 4-14x44. I compared it against the Arken and an Athlon Talos BTR . Its a tad brighter than the Athlon and very comparable to my Arken . All were tested at 10 power to keep things fair. It is residing on my new Benjamin Akela.



Also, I forgot to mention that I love the reticle.

I also bought 2 based on YO's recommendations. They are bright and clear and seem to track well. My concern is whether or not they would hold up on a springer and how would warranty be handled if needed. I also like the TAC Vector line for budget scopes and they have both 8-32 and 10-40 models for under 200.00.

I really do like the reticle on the Alpha 6 though. One of my favorites.

I recently discovered a fellow member is printing side wheels to fit the Alpha 6... Maybe he will share a post in this thread?

I don’t think he would mind if I share the photo he sent me 

I got one last week-impressive scope for the money.

Will try to draw the full circle wheel when I have time.

Not to my knowledge but I sent him a link to this thread so maybe he will confirm 

Edit: Ha! Posted at the same time lol... That’s the man you wanna talk to right there

Thanks man... yeah I am honestly really liking this optic. I was considering purchasing a second Aztec Emerald 5.5-25x50 SFP when I first ran across Master Yo’s thread regarding these Alpha 6 scopes... I took the chance and ordered one of these instead, and I’m happy I did! 

I picked one up one of these scopes as well - I think it was the last one that BudK had left. Mine arrived last week. Glass is very clear, seems like a great buy. I appreciate Yo’s recommendation

Every one says there very clear though full range of magnification But how well do they track 

Thank you

Love my Alpha 6. Ordered the day YO first mentioned it. Full magnification all the time at a 100 yards spot on and crystal clear.

I have one too, we bought it a few months ago and have used it a lot! I paid around $205 for ours, on sale with an additional 10% off. It is a nice scope, especially for the money. My son uses it and likes it a lot.

With that said, I think Yo May have over sold this one a bit. Better than $1000 Chinese scopes? Not a chance. Comparable to $800-$900-$1000 scopes? Nope, It’s nice, I just don’t want people buying it thinking they’re getting a scope that compares to scopes costing 3,4 or 5 times as much. It’s not that good. It is nice, well worth the money, and I’m happy I bought it. Did it really blow me away? No. Just my 2 cents. Have a great holiday weekend. Stoti

It looks very very similar to discovery hd34mm series. Probably made in the same factory. Same turrets pretty much. I wonder if that 3d printed side wheel will fit on my discovery....Can one of yall measure the focus wheel on your alpha for me by chance?

Their side focus wheels are the same diameter but they are definitely different scopes that look similar to anyone who doesn't own both to compare them side by side. This Discovery HD is a bigger scope which is pretty decent with a semi finicky eyebox and isn't as bright and clear as the smaller Alpha6 and their difference is noticeable even for someone with bad eyesight (well maybe not).

Here are the Discovery HD on left 4-20x50 FFP and Alpha6 4.5-27x50 SFP on right.



I have the Discovery 5-25x50 HD SFP too and that too isn't as clear with an eyebox that's not as friendly and their housings are really close practically the same eyeballing. The SFP Discovery HD has a reticle that looks pretty much the same as the Alpha6.
