Currently you can get a new leupold vx-3i 3.5-10x40mm matte duplex for $318 shipped on ebay, IMO it is the best deal in optic's today
Absolutely!!!!!
Leupold is all I buy these days.
I like their 2.5-8 scopes.
Currently have a VX 3 and a VX 3i. I honestly can't tell the difference.
Also had a VX III...same magnification...the newer models definitely have nicer dials but again...my untrained eyes can't see any difference in the glass.
