Which Scope? Roos. Daylight & Spotlight

[Wapiti]

All my day time, non pro shooting night rifles wear Leupold VX3 scopes, not the VXi rubbish, not a fan of them. Love the Leupold VX3 scopes and i buy them up when i see them, got a good selection for all uses from the 1.5-4X20 on my 30/30 to the 6.5-20X50 that is on my varmint heavy barrel Sako A11 swift. I love the compact and slim nature of them.

Why are the VX3i scopes rubbish please?
Always keen to learn where I've gone wrong.

The compact and slim nature of the VX3 series hasn't changed with the upgrades in glass and anti-scratch and better light transmission coatings as the line progressed past the excellent VX3 through the VX3i and then the VX3-HD.
They've almost got to the perfection that Swaro have at the point of darkness, that's when a great bit of glass shows up.

Why are the same revised VX3 models rubbish?

Tikka Hunters are still a nice light rifle, so I would avoid any solid, heavy scope.
I would like one of those later Leo's like the 3-14x 50 to complement that rifle for multi-purpose use.
The ARE getting exy though.

My .223 sporter use is more like a varmint and range hound, a heavyish Weatherby Vanguard S2 24" tack driver, so the beefy Meopta Meopro 6-18 goes well on it, horses for courses eh.

I didn't notice at first, it's an old thread.
You would think they have the courtesy to reply back about what they decided on, and how it went.
It must me all me, me, me with some blokes, and it defeats a good forum discussion.
