I've read that the VX-3 may be a tad better than the older VX-III and the new VX-2 has glass comparable to the VX-III. Also the VX-R glass is reportedly about like the VX-2/VX-III.

That's why I was asking how they matched up. I've handled both, but not side by side. I have both VX-3 and VX-III, the VX-R belongs to a guy at my deer camp. I have two VX-6's and think they're a notch above the VX-R. I do like the Fire Dot and think Leupold got that one right.

Those are two very nice rifles and I know you're justifiably proud of them...
