Looks pretty good and the power ring is certainly easier to turn. After mounting it the eye relief and eye box seem good although not as good as the VX-6 which at about half the price is to be expected. I'll be doing some shooting with it tomorrow.

So, think of it as the older VX-3's were being sold at a premium because of all the different models/finishes available. So, it looks like a price cut, when in reality, is in line with where the prices should have been before.

Well, Swarovksi did the same thing a couple of years ago when the re-imaged the SLC HD. It got different armoring, and cheaper by a couple hundred $$$$, and remains one of the finest hunting binoculars on the planet. Funny how nobody questioned that move, probably because it had Swarovksi and a silver hawk on it. It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

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.

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.

I apologize for the delay in your order. We found out today that we have been put on the do not sell list from Leupold for violating their Minimum Advertised Price policy. We were unaware of this until it happened and for the next month we are unable to sell Leupold products. As such, I have had to cancel your order and I released the authorization on your credit card. You should see that authorization drop off within two business days. I sincerely apologize that we were not able to complete your order. Thank you, CenterfireGuns Customer Service Life can be rough on us dreamers.

This is more of an agreement between the manufacturer and the retailer. Not sure but I think it generally is to protect smaller retailers who may not be able to purchase in quanities to recieve as low of price as the bigger ones. Probably more reasons for it than that.

Maybe it's just the advertised website prices that come up in Google searches. I still think there was some kind of a promotion for the first batch. Why would a dealer cut their profit so much on a new model, if not? The one on Gunbroker shows a whole shipping case full of the same boxed model on their ad.
