Thread: Leupold VX2 6-18x40 AO or Leupold AR MOD 6-18x40

I'm looking at a new scope for my Benelli MR1 .223 and am looking at these two options

VX2 6-18x40mm AO Leupold Optics VX-2 6-18x40mm Adj. Obj. - | Leupold Optics

or the

Mark AR MOD 1 6-18x40mm Leupold Optics Mark AR MOD 1 6-18x40mm - | Leupold Optics

Probably be looking at the Fine Duplex, as most of the shooting is at targets at the 100m range and one day i might start taking out a few rabbits.

They are similar in price, the AR MOD 1 is set up for 55g .223? but seems to be the same as the VX2 6-18x40mm. is there any real benefit of ether one over the other?

I'm thinking the VX2 would have a better resale over here in NZ and as I'm playing with different loads other than 55g, this would be a better option?


What would you seasoned shooters choose?
