This!!! - I bought three of the 3-9 VX-1 from Cabelas last winter when they had them on special, after opening up the first one I packaged them up and returned all three. A few months later they put the 3-9 VX-2 CDS on sale for $249 with free shipping, I bought three of them and could not be happier. The crisper, sharper view is worth more than the extra $49 more. The current VX-2 was the VX-3 until 2012 when the Leupold scope line was rebadged and the difference between the VX-1 and VX-2 is obvious in a side by side comparison.

Caveat - my eyesight is 15/20 on good days and 20/20 on bad days and my visual acuity is excellent so perhaps I see things that are less obvious to others depending on their eyesight.

It is not surprising the VX-2 is better than the VX-1.

The OP was asking for scopes under $200.00


My reading comprehension is just fine, however I was pointing out that by spending only $49 more he would take a major step up in quality. If he can afford $200 chances are he can wait another couple of weeks and spend another $49. Cry once.

The question really has nothing to do with what I can afford, I picked $200 because once you get to $300 there are LOTS of great choices and a lot of the guys I know won't spend over $200 for a scope, I've usually recommended the Weaver Classic V9 in the past as it seams a lot of guys are stuck on 3-9 scopes and I still feel it was the best scope for the dollar out there period...unfortunately it is no longer in production.
