I have a drilling that I use for coyote hunting, it has a VX-1 1x4 and it works fine and I can shoot sub-MOA groups out to 200 yards with it. Nice scope.
I also have a combination gun that also after coyotes and it has a VX-2 1x4, the duplex crosshairs are finer in the center and the glass is slightly better mostly at the outer edges.
If I only had the Vx-1 I wouldn't look for anything else, if someone gave me a VX-2 I'd swap it in:-). I have a VariX-II, VX-II and a VX-2 1x4's and i think the VX-1 is a pretty good value.
