Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics Difference Between Leupold VX-III and VX-3?

All scopes will quit at a certain point, I can demonstrate this on every hunt. I'm usually in the woods a full hour and a half before shooting light, I can assure you my scopes won't work then.

The key is the good scopes will outlast the average ones in fading light and quite frankly these are the most precious minutes when it comes to animal movement. For those that dismiss that a scope doesn't quit . . . well that's just hogwash.

Hey bro, what's with the attitude? I already apologized for stirring up a crapstorm. If I wanted to ask Leupold I would have called them. I visit this forum for the wealth of knowledge here and contribute when I can. I thought that's what forums like these were all about. Anyway, thanks for the info and if I am taking your comments the wrong way I apologize up front.

Funny you mention that. I recently acquired three new VX-IIs in 3-9x40. I was pleasantly surprised to find that one of them had an adjustment ring that turned easily enough. Other two were typical Leupold monkey tight. I do wish they'd fix that issue.

Very true. A good quality bino will always show you more than a riflescope, assuming they have sufficient exit pupil.

I haven't seen any model Leupold scope that had an easy to turn power ring. I'm surprised they haven't come up with a solution to that especially when you consider all that have been sent in for the repair that come back better in that regard.

Yes, you took them the wrong way, but an apology not necessary.
Just trying to have you get the answers you want without the extra bs.

A Leupold catalog is also a nice reference to have around to answer your own and others questions.

Thanks battue.
