Tell me more about the difference in the last two.

Also, has anyone been UNsuccessful because they were using a 3-9x40 Leupold - of any model - while on a big game hunt?


For me when comparing the 2-7 VX2 to the 2.5-8 VX3 the clarity is better, the eye box is more forgiving and the power ring is a lot smoother on the VX3. To me it's just a better scope.

Now comparing the 3-9X40 VX2 to the 3.5-10X40 the differences are a lot less noticeable.

Now with that said, I could take any of the four scopes mentioned and have a successful hunt.
