I believe they call it the sniper model . I have the standard mod. in 6x and then purchased the mounts separately from the sniper scope. The mount has brass turrets and can be de-clicked easily,but all parts of the mount need stoning and lapping (such as the threads, knife edges,slide rail & cup) not hard to do & then repeatability is very good.  The optics are good. That said the MVA is only $100 more, but not fog resistant. and the 6x was a bunch cheaper. And yes I do prefer made in the USA.


Hope this helps

I can't seem to find the MVA - 6 power, it is not on their web-site. It was reported recently that DZ Arms was getting close to market with their scope? I'm trying to find one for a friend who is not tech-savy like me, thanks for any info.       Ledball

For what it is worth, I tried to save money last year and bought a Leatherwood Scope, I threw it away. I bought a MVA scope. Yes more money but the MVA scope will be around longer than I will be. And talk about customer support, I do not think there is any finer!

Their MVA B5 scope isn't on the web site, but it is in the catalog which you can download from the web site.

It is a great little scope.

The catalog shows the "B" scope in 3, 4, and 5x. Do they make a B6?

Nossir.  At least not that I've heard. It would be nice to have a little more power.  The optics on the B5 are quite good though, and even at 5x I can see .45 cal holes at 200m if the light is good.

Chris.
