The VX-3 is a couple ounces lighter than the VX-R, but the VX-R has the Fire Dot reticle, if that is really any advantage. The MSRP on the VX-R is $624.00, and on the VX-3, $499.00. I have grown quite fond of the 1.75-6x32, and I'll use that scope on most hunting rifles that I have to scope or re-scope in the future. Only specialized rifles will get something else.

Dirtfarmer Campfire 'Bwana D Joined: Nov 2010 Posts: 37,097 Central Louisiana	I've read that the VX-3 may be a tad better than the older VX-III and the new VX-2 has glass comparable to the VX-III. Also the VX-R glass is reportedly about like the VX-2/VX-III. That's why I was asking how they matched up. I've handled both, but not side by side. I have both VX-3 and VX-III, the VX-R belongs to a guy at my deer camp. I have two VX-6's and think they're a notch above the VX-R. I do like the Fire Dot and think Leupold got that one right. Those are two very nice rifles and I know you're justifiably proud of them... DF
