I don't agree with that. I own three Z3 3-9x36 and a bunch of Loopy 2.5-8x36. Comparing the Z3 to the VX3i there is an advantage to the Z3 but it is not that wide to my eyes. The Z3 will have a little bit better light transmission on dusk but the Leupold is very close behind. I'd say the Loopy is at least 95% of the brightness of the Z3 but only 66% of the price.


What generation are your Leupolds, Vari-X, VX-III, VX-3, VX3I?

Any of the generations. I've owned them all. My daughters rifles wear VX-3is and they work for her. They do not remotely compare once the sun goes down to my eyes. Swaro Z3 increased that by 15 min easily. Its very noticeable. I use Z5s now and cant go back honestly. They spoil my eyes, but everyone sees things differently
