Can someone who owns either of these scopes tell me the actual Mounting space available on the tube? I debating buying one of these for a model 70 375, but the outside distance on my talley scope mounts is 5.25 inches and I want to make sure it will fit. I see the factory specs, but IME those can be incorrect. Thanks! Both are a bit over 5", neither gets you to 5 1/4".

I will jump into the Leupold / Swarovski fracas. Agree that the Swarovski optics are generally better. I have a lot of Leupolds. None have yet been back for repair. Three Swarovskis have been home for a total of five times. Once on the scope, four times on two binoculars (3&1). Swaro service is quick and they come back as good or better than new. Leupolds work for me as well.

I own 2 VX2 2-7x33's and both are on larger caliber rifles (a 358 Win and a 9.3x62 Mauser). They have held zero since installed and they have been though some fairly rough mountain hunts in CO and elsewhere. They are great little scopes and have never needed service.

This scope doesn't get much press here. Is there a reason? Lupy 1.7-6

Maybe I shoulda also put the 1.75-6x32 into the title. It is another that I dislike and would buy the 2-7x33 over. I can't remember if I have had 2 or 3 of them. They are all gone now. One of them had a bad windage turret..... I have a VX-3 1.75-6x32 on a Marlin 336 and love it. I've got a VX-R 2-7x33 on an AR and love it. I don't have a 2.5-8x32 VX-3 but I look through them at work all the time. To my eyes they are great and I'd like to get one. I also look through Swaro Z3's a lot at work along with other Swaro Models and I flat out don't see as well through a Z3 as I do a VX-3, MeoPro, Conquest or Elite 4200 which I own. From my experience selling optics I believe another persons view is useless when it comes to optics because everyone's eyes are truly different.
Don't roll those bloodshot eyes at me.
