I've been considering one of these myself. From what I've read, they come with VX-2 glass with some twilight lens coating, the reticle in the 2nd focal plane and some good reticle choices. It also comes with Leupold's lifetime warranty. Supposedly, VX-3 glass is "slightly better" but the cost is way more. You can get a basic 3-9 for under $200. Sounds like a solid deal. And no, I don't work for Leupold, sell any scopes or even own one yet. But I'm considering it. Anybody have one yet?
