    Can you still get VXRs? Had a quick look on Leupold site and couldn't find any info.

    @Bobba they are discontinued but there are still a few for sale. I actually asked Leupold about two weeks ago about this and they said some new Leupold scopes are coming out that "may" replace them but they wouldn't elaborate.

    I suspect there is a new line coming out possibly that replaces what the VX-R was.
