I have a VX-5HD ZL2, 2-12x42, and for me it is just about perfect. I used the free coupon to get a custom dial from Leupold, and since I pretty much stick to one load in my .270 WSM it works very well at reasonable hunting ranges. The glass is excellent, so far the turrets work very well, and it's a light scope. Some don't care for the wide duplex, but I don't mind it. Mine also has illumination. If you qualify for veteran/first responder discounts, you can buy direct from Leupold cheaper than most of the used deals you find.
