    Leupold Question

    Some companies in their advertising say VX3 4.5-14x40.
    Some say VXIII 4.5-14x40

    Leupold on their site say VX3. The scope however has on it in the "gold" band VXIII.
    Surely its all the same thing and just the result of some drunkeness correspondence between marketing and engineering
    or are there actually two different versions (Older or maybe Newer)
    of the same thing. If thats the case anyone know what the differences could be ?

    VX3 is the latest model from the previous VX-III. It has the better lens coatings and few other improvements. Which is again different from the original (older) Vari-X III.

    Re: Leupold Question

    Vx3 also has double sprung adjustments like the mk4 vxIII does not.

    It never ceases to amaze me how you fellahs know this stuff about riufles and scopes. I am definitely in the minority with my "pick it up, use it, put it away approach"
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms
