I've got those exact scopes here.
To my eyes (excellent uncorrected vision with just a touch of rt. eye astigmatism), they're a push optically.
As an aside, I can't tell any significant optical differences between the Leupold HD and an earlier VX3 series.
I will add that both the HD and VX3 Leupolds have been excellent in tracking and holding their zeros.
Good shootin' -Al
Could we please keep this somewhat on topic? Looking for quality comparisons between the upper end Athlons and the Leupolds. Thanks guys.
I have not used the ChiCom scope but can say the Leupold VX3 HD is solid.
Hard to spend money on ChiCom when a great USA option is available.
Lots of good optics these days.
