the Mod 1 has distance marks for the 55gr 223 but if your not using that exact load it really is a big guess anyway - The mod 1 is Mil and the vx2 is MOA - which again doesn't really matter unless you have a milldot recticule of some sort - which you said you weren't. The Mod 1 has nicer but exposed turrets which is about the only difference. If you were going to be doing long range stuff more then the easy click-able turrets might be better option. I have a mod 1 on my AR and I like it alot but I also have a mil TMR reticule which only really helps if I run out of adjustment and need to add more mils for hold over or wind - but that kind of range is getting out there for a 223
