Thread: Mid range Leupolds

Could some one tell me just where the VX.R and VX3i sit in the line up of the leupy range

The VX.R has a higher price point {manufactures spec} but it sits below the VX3! on the site.

I'm not sure I totally understand the function of the VX.R
Thanks.

VXR - illuminated reticule.

Thanks Shearer, is that the only difference?

No 100% sure. I have heard the VX R is not as good optically but don't really know. The Leupold web site might be helpfull?

Cheers Shearer just been looking there, and the custom shop

I've come to the conclusion after a heap of research and looking through plenty of leupold's that a VXR = VX2 with a 30mm tube and Illumination.

Yep, this is my understanding also

Ta. I'm actually comparing the VX3i 2-8x36 and the VX.R 3-9x40.
Am keen for another VX3 2-8x36 but come across the VX.R and thought I'd ask you fellows about them.

If it's for a dedicated bush rifle the illumination is a great feature in my opinion. A mate of mine has the 3-9 VX R and prefers it to his Swarovski for the bush. Very quick target acquisition.

Nah, looking to lighten the 30 06 a bit , has a fairly hefty Leica Er on it at the moment and I bought one of the leupy 2-8's for the 9.3 a year or more back and am liking it a fair bit.

I've got a 2.5-8 VX3 on a Kimber and find it next to useless in low light. Might be my eyes! I got a 4-12 VX-R that im going to try when I get some 30mm rings.

How much do you want for it? was considering the VX3i with CDs adjustments.

The VX3? Let me get the 30mm rings sorted and I'll flick you a PM.
The VX3 also has a S.O.D on it in MOA so that might be up you alley!

is it a vx3 or a vxIII ? the older vxIII was not so good in low light.
