Looking at getting a new VX2 2-7X33 and having the parallex changed to 50 yards for my new CZ453.I asked a question on rimfirecentral and someone said the new VX2's eyebox wasn't as good as on the VXII.
Is the new VX2 2-7X33 just as easy to get behind as the old VXII or Vari X? My main reason for the VX2 2-7x33 choice is because I have always found the Vari X 2-7X33 the easiest to get behind scope I have ever used.

I suggest you go to a gun shop that has one of those rifle stocks that customers can use to test a scope. The only way I've ever been able to really tell how much eye box a scope has is to mount it on a rifle, or at least one of those "tryout stocks". E

I have 2 VX-2 2-7x33mm and IMO both are as good as or better than my VX-II.

my vx-2 is a great scope, better than the vx-II I have which i thought was a pretty good scope prior to comparing the two

I liked the VX-2 2-7x33 that I looked at. not sure if it was just me but seemed more forgiving than the vx-3 2.5-8.
especially liked how clear the LR reticle is that you can get in the vx2 2-7

If you buy a current production VX-2 made in 2012 or 2013 you are getting a darn good scope. Leupold upgraded the VX-2 and VX-1 in January of 2012. My newer VX-2 is a better scope in every way than a 5 year old VX-3 I own. The newer VX-1's are essentially an older VX-2. Any of the older generation VX I's, II's or III's are inferior to the 1's, 2's and 3's.
Most people don't really want the truth.
They just want constant reassurance that what they believe is the truth.

I used the REDFIELD version (Leupold made) 2-7 aat ThunderRanch on a 223. FREAKING Wonderful scope for $150 bucks.
On a CZ (I have a 452) I would look very seriously at that scope. Huge bang for the buck.
