I have owned a lot of scopes and ended up with more Leupolds than anything else, both VX-2 and VX-3s including the VX-3i.
I feel that they are a very good value with, probably, the best guarantee in the industry. I have some Conquests and Meoptas, but still like the Leupolds. The 3.5-10x40s are my favorites.
I have a couple of Kahles and a Zeiss Diavari that also are among my favorites, but I have never needed any warranty on them.
