I would also look into the Redfield Revolution it's made on the same production line and falls between the VX-1 and VX-2 optically(according to what a Leupold tech told me) for less $$...the Leupolds DO have a better looking finish on the outside though IMO...
Well that's what I was told, have not compared a RR and a VX-1 side by side...Have mounted a couple of RRs for people and they seemed like solid options to me. One has held up quite well under an 8mm Gibbs for several years now.
