I for one would love to see the VX-3i lineup return with 1.5-5x, 2.5-8x and 3.5-10x offerings. Matte and gloss finishes with standard duplex, 1” tubes and nothing larger than a 40mm objective. Leupold for example, could make them available only through their website if sales volume didn’t merit a retail setting.
I think to cater to only long range shooting is a huge mistake. While it may be what’s in vogue, there are still plenty of hunters and shooters out there who don’t want or need the Hubble telescope attached to their favorite hunting rifle.
