RE: leupold VX1 vs Vx11
I'll chime in here and agree with the loyalty to Leupold. I have been shooting a VXI for years with no issues. Taken elk with it from 150-450 yds and never had any issues. Especially with a shotgun, you will be pretty happy with this scope I think. The only thing you would really benefit from is a larger objective lens, which would give you better dusk/dawn light, but for that jump you are talking some $$ and for me it was never worth it.
