I usually zero my rifles at 100 yards and I'll admit I've cranked as low as 217 yards. With enough time to do so I don't have any problem with it.
I have both of these scopes 3-10x40 CDS and NXS 2.5-10x42. I like the NF in every way, especially with turret cranking involved.
I have not had a lot of use with the VX-3, just some at the range, but to me the NF is more precise with its adjustments. If money isn't a big factor, the extra piece of mind is worth it to me.
I really like the MOAR reticle. My scope has the digillum, but haven't had to use it.
