Saw that one for $315 in a few places as well. Ordered a 4.5-14 before the demand catches on and the dealers boost prices. It will happen.

Looked at a VX-3i 2.5-8x36 at a store yesterday. The shop assistant said that the power ring numbers are not etched on as previously. Don't know whether he was talking BS or not as I had left my reading glasses in the truck and couldn't take a closer look at the numbers.

LG outdoors. Go to the Leupold site, fine the part number (model number), then go to LG outdoors and search by model number. Ritchie sporting is offering similar prices on Gunbroker as well, but they charge shipping and credit card fee. Both are free at LG.

I got the 4.5-14-40 VX3i 30mm CDS Windplex for $487.13. They had 2 at that price. If you search that model (170702), it shows out of stock, but it also shows in stock for $599. The 170703 (Duplex) still was in stock this morning. I couldn't find the 3.5-10 by searching the model number, but I just put in VX-3i, and ran through the list, and saw the ones for $315 last night. Not sure of current stock

I'm thinking Leupold may have ran some promotional specials to their deals for the first shipments.

Here is the link for the 3.5-10. Last night they were in stock at $315. Now price has been removed, and shows not in stock.

On Gunbroker, Richie sporting still shows one in stock for $315.

Check with Doug at Cameraland. He quoted me a good price on the same one I got. He said theirs are coming next week. If I see any more good prices, I'll pop links on here.

How come the VX3s cost more on sale than the new ones.One would think they would be cheaper.

The MSRP was more on the old ones. Apparently some dealers got a promotional offer for ordering the first batch of the new model, that is why the initial prices were low at a few dealers. Once that first quantity sells out, they bump them up to the normal prices.

If the old models aren't selling at the sale prices, prices will have to come down on those, or they will be on shelves a long time.

Yep. Not the $319 model but ordered a different VX3i.
Easy-peasy. Scope is already on the rifle.
