I posted a year ago on this thread about my v3i not out shooting my m6. Anyway ive been thru a dozen units in last two years since trading my v3i on a ctx. Ive finally got hold of another v3i. Been playing with it, ran over an area that I somehow missed nearly $1 in clad. I dont know how I missed it but the preformance of my v3i compared to my first on is a different beast. I like it
