And if you catch a auction on Ebay you can often pick up the VX1 for $150.00 or less New,Shipped


If that VX-1 is made 2012 or newer it is a bargain. If it is pre-2012 not so much. There were huge upgrades then. The easiest way to tell is the adjustment knobs. On older scopes they were friciton adjustable. In 2012 the glass was not only upgraded but they went to click adjustments. Be wary buying used or old stock.


This.





Not long ago, the local Bass Pro were advertising VX1 3-9X40s for $179. That was the cheapest I had seen them so drove over to get a couple and upon closer inspection they were old stock VX1s with friction adj. and the tan colored dials. Not really a bargain.
