Have you tried out the VX3i?
Only looking outside from inside a store. I have no doubts that some Vortex scopes may have problems. Same as Leupold or any other scope manufacturer can have. But when you break down what you're getting for your money dollar for dollar Leupold is lagging behind. Does Leupold make good scopes? Absolutely. But you can buy betterquality and more features for less than what Leupold is pricing their scopes at. I guess what I'm getting at is the Leupold fan boys are spending a lot more money and getting less scope on a lot of the Leupold models just to get that name and that gold ring because of the scope they use to make. I learned a long time ago that a fella can miss out on some great gear when he is blindly loyal to only one company that makes a certain product

I guess I'm just ignorant to some of these added features you speak of. And I'm no fanboy. One of my favorite rigs was a Weaver Grand Slam that sat on an Encore .35 Whelen.
I guess I'm just a simpleton. The Leupolds I've owned haven't failed me. They transmit a lot of light. They're rock solid, and they're built in the US. I haven't felt the need to venture out. But again ( and I assure you I'm not meaning this maliciously; I'm genuinely curious), what features am I missing out on in the $300-$400 range? I paid $320 for my VX3i FWIW. It'll be hard to convince me that there is a better option at that price point.
