Absolutely worth it. I listened to a Newberg podcast where he had one of the Leupold managers on. The manager said and I quote - " The Product Manager guys are gonna kill me for sayin this, but the 2.5-8 has the best light transmission of any scope we make".
So, I have the 6iX + T (Ti) on my LH Magnus 300prc, 24" barrel, Ti action. My tax stamp took exactly 6 months to the day. I have only shot it once to date while gathering velocity data for my load workup. I will report back here after I have more time behind it.
Thanks for the info on the Sako 85 Bix N Andy trigger @FURMAN. Just ordered one. I am running the CT Edge in 6.5prc and carry it all over the mountains here in Colorado.
