One question - If you call leupold and they admit glass is equivalent to the vx3, why do they charge 2x? Why don't they use the glass/coatings from the VX7?
What makes you think that the VX-7 is actually better glass?
Sorry i Got involved in this thread. I thought i was pretty knowledgable about leupold scopes (except the mk versions) but clearly i'm not. Carry on
