Another vote for redfield revolution. they are very tough scopes that track well, hold zero and don't give issues. as a matter of fact I almost decided to mount one on my 416 rem mag. The one I had held up to +p loads in my 45-70 marlin and never lost zero.

Great scope for the money

I've already decided on the Minox, but this begs the question..........does the Revolution follow the Leupold VX1 or Rifleman's optical formula?

It's hard to get a straight answer especially from Leupold but I think it has mostly been rated between a VX1 and a VX2.

I prefer the 2 X 7 Redfield Revolution, or the 2 X 7 Vortex Viper to the Leupold 2 X 7. And I like Leupolds. Took my 1.5 X 5 Leupold off my 375 Ruger and Replaced it with the 2 X 7 Redfield Revolution.

Was that 1.5-5 a Vari X 111 or a VX 3?

When truth is ignored, it does not change an untruth from remaining a lie.

Because I have their Crossfire II in a 2-7x on a Marlin 336 and well pleased with it, that was on the short list at first , until I seen one in person. I would not consider any of the Vortex 2-7x scopes as being compact by any means. As good as they are, the ocular lens in each respective line is huge and the same size whether sporting a 50mm objective or 32mm. Making the 2-7x32 eyepiece especially disproportionate to the rest of the scope system

Older VX 2 I believe just wanted more scope for range work, the 375 Ruger is very accurate and to many winters!

That's the problem with the way Leupold designated their scopes. Not everyone knows what everyone else is talking about. There is no older VX2. There was a Vari X II..... a VXII........and the new VX2.

I would put it between the VX-1 and VX-2
