    You wont be dissapointed in either. I have 4 different burris scopes, the 3-9x40 on a 243, 4-12x40 on 17hmr (off the top of my head), 2-7x40 eurospec (bloody nice compax scope) on a 308 and 4-16x50 XTR on the 300wsm, all are good quality scopes that i have had no issues with. The leupold vx2 may be a slightly higher quality than the burris fullfield but i really dont think you will notice the difference tbh, others might disagree. If your happy with the quality of the 2nd hand scope, no marks whatsoever on the glass and no scope ring marks or crushed tube then a 2nd hand scope will be fine.
    Personally i would just buy new and get the retailers warranty and support.
