I am comparing theVX-3i 4.5x14x50 to the VX-5HD 3x15x44. Most of my hunting will be in the woods with some open field hunting. 300 yard shots at most. Might play at longer ranges.
Is the VX-5 worth the difference?

The 5HD PLEX reticle is a fairly WIDE PLEX in the center area of that matters to you.

Better glass on the VX-5 HD and better magnification range. Win/Win.

What could be a sadder way to end a life than to die having never hunted with great dogs, good friends and your family?

Whichever one that you can get in a heavy duplex.

Agree on the heavy duplex, maybe a firedot. The VX3 is quite a bit cheaper, didn't know if the VX5 was worth the extra money.
