Used VX-2s, especially the ultralight models, are bringing more on eBay than they sold for when new, and often higher than comparable new VX-Freedom models. It seems Leupold has a branding problem with this latest line, despite claims that they are mechanically superior to the VX-2s.
Performance notwithstanding, I think the VX-2s were some of the more attractive scopes that Leupold has produced. The VX-Freedoms, with the redesigned turret caps and power select rings, remind me of the cheap China-made scopes that are packaged with inexpensive rifles at WalMart.
