Vortex vs. Leopold?

As soon as we receive more in the shop, I'll take a picture. It has German glass. Probably made in China, but the fact remains, they are a really good scope and clear as could be. We ordered 3 in and they left very quickly. I'm sure it was mostly price point, but again, the clarity of them is amazing.

I almost bought one when watertown gander was closing to play around with. Are those the scopes that you can link to a sig kilo ranger finder?

I would say no.

The main reason for the fulfield is budget and compactness and the 2-7 is better with a fixed parallax. Avoid the 3-9.
Personally i prefer to spend a bit more on a gran slam or a vx3, better than a vx1. A redfield (revolution model only) would be a good one on a.tight budget.
Go try them out. Remember your eyes are part of the optical system. The most important part. Plus you can check features and reticles based on how you would use the scope.
We end up.repeating this in threads over and over again.

Again I would avoid the 3-9 in the fulfield and in general. Otherwise look into a better scope and parallax.adjustment.

The 3x9 has fixed parallax too. Why would the 2x7 be better.

These are budget scopes like many others discussed so one needs to consider everything. Look throug them and the 3-9 shows some chromatic aberration at high magnifocation like most budget scopes. The 2-7 is better and on top x2 is ideal for hunting in northern woods both eyes open and keep a nice and clear FOV.
Bottom line, try whatever you choose or at least go check them at the store or ask around and all based on how you are going to use it.
Also some of the deals on the 2-8 grand slam seem amszing to me for a betrer glass just like thr vx3.

I just got a flyer from Optics Planet. This Leupold on sale. Anyone have experience with it? 4x is really all I need for hunting here, in fact I wish it was fixed power.
