I'm a Leupold fan and I say stay away from the VX-Is. The Buckmaster is a very impressive piece of glass for that price range. I have a VX-I that is going back to Leupold as soon as my dad shoots his doe with it. The power adjusting ring is stuck on it, and the MOA turretts are stuck for up and down and left to right. Luckily for my dad, the gun was still sighted in from last year, as he won't shoot any other deer rifle other than his dads old Winchester 100.
