Yeah, Leupold prices have become a little outlandish. With each “revision” they just push the old technology down to the lower model designation. Today’s VX1 is superior to a VX3 of 12-15 years ago.

The $1000 Mk4’s I’ve owned pale in comparison to the light transmission, clarity, edge clarity and light “management” of the $350 VX3i I just mounted.

I’ve heard nothing but great things about the Leupold 5 and 6 series. Can’t even imagine.

Wish my Viper PST FFP had 1/2 the clarity of this VX3i.
