Don't forget you need good mounts and a good base...

I doubt you can get the VX2 AND mounts/base for under 300. The VX1 is a good scope and you won't be disappointed. As for 40mm vs 50mm, meh. The 50 might be a little better late in the evening, but how much better is debatable. Just get the one you like more. I prefer 40mm because I can mount it lower.
