Why not consider buying the VX-5 HD from Doug too?

I have both scopes you mentioned. Both are very good.
If $$ is a concern the Meopta is a great deal and considerably less than the VX5. My only complaint with the scope is the illumination.. the dot is very very dim. To be honest I can't even see it in the lower half of its settings.
By contrast the illumination in the VX5 is fantastic. I use it every time I hunt.
I haven't had both scopes in the field in very low light conditions to compare them side by side. I have had them both at the range on the same day and other than the difference in magnification between the two scopes ( the Leupold is 3-15x, the Meopro is 3-10x) the glass is comparable to my eyes with the Leupold having perhaps slightly greater clarity.
I'm very impressed with the Leupold glass and illumination in very low light. Actually it's pretty startling. Of the two this scope would be my pick.

I have the non-illuminated version of that VX5HD and my only gripe is the visibility of the reticle in low light. Illumination should fix that. I wish I had a meopro to compare it to.

The nice thing about illumination is that there are many levels. Too low, turn up the brightness. I prefer to not have the entire reticle illuminated as it can sometimes wash out what I am looking at.

The Meopta BDC reticle is very thin and hard to see.(At least for me)If I bought the Meopta I would get the 4A illuminated Reticle.
Its all right to be white!!

I have a Meopro and just Saturday I "looked" through a VX 5 hd. Impressive to say the least but it is several hundred dollars more than the Meopro. Is it worth that, IDK, but I am sure that you can't go wrong with which ever you choose. Good luck on your hunt..
