Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics Vortex Diamondback to Leupold VX-3i

Leupolds may have smaller fields of view because they give more eye relief than many other scopes. If you shoot something that kicks, you will appreciate the extra 1/2 to 1 inch distance.

Please explain as to why.


If you move the dial to 200 yards, and double check your actual zero, all the further distances will still work with the trajectory. You will still have a 100 yard marking, and can either dial down to that, if needed, or replace the zero stop bearing, as described above. You can't sight in at 200 with the dial zeroed at 100 though, or the everything would be high.

I'm sorry KenMi, when you explained it the way you just did it will work. I was previously thinking you meant to say zeroing the rifle at 200, but still using the 100yd zero stop would work, which it won't. Sorry I screwed that up.

You can also make a multiple position zero stop by drilling and tapping the underside of the turret and installing small allen set screws. Just back out whichever one you want to use, so it hits the stop. (100, 200, etc.).

I agree!, the Viper may be comparable but the VX3 has better glass than the diamondback.
