VX1 at $199 is it now. The Weavers were very good at the price when they were around. Why anybody would stop making a 3-9 in the U.S. market is beyond me.
Exactly! 3-9x40s are the most popular scope in the U.S., which is why Leupold sells their's for less than comparable scopes. Because of the volume, they can make them for less, sell them for less, and still meet their profit margin goals. While I generally prefer Leupold 2-7x33s, I'll suck it up and go with a 3-9x40 if the difference in price is significant. $218 seemed like a good price and if I don't find a use, I can always get my $$ out of them.
