So when are the new VX-3's supposed to come on line? I'm curious if the 4.5-14x40 AO will be available in gloss. I know that their basically a VX-III with VX-7 glass but if this model comes in gloss, I might have to pick one up.

I've got a bad feeling me not going to likey the new ones. Really unless it's a massive overhaul it'll be a let down. THis is their chance to get up to speed.

If they use the VX-7 glass, they will start at about $900

If they put the VX7 glass and kept the same price point, I dare bet a lof of use would be changing our opinions about Leupold. I looked through a VX7 once and thought the glass looked real good.

My gunshop said the Leupy rep told him it would more of a change than vari x to vx. Take that with a grain of salt too I suppose. The reason I'm not expecting much is I don't really like the vx7's.

I'm sure they're good scopes but for the money I'd rather have my Zeiss or Swarovski. The one I looked through didn't seem enough better than a VX III to cost $1500. I shouldn't say I don't like them. I just don't think they're worth the money.

VX-7 scopes are pretty good optically, but not as good as simialrly priced competition. If Leupold manages to stuff VX-7 quality glass into the new VX-3 and keep the price point more or less the same, I will be buying their scopes.

If Burris can put the quality of glass in their scopes that they do. Then Leupold should have a lot better glass with what they charge.

Folks ain't got a sense of humor no more. They don't laugh they just get sore.
Need to follow the rules. Just hard to determine which set of rules to follow Now the rules have changed again. |

I'm a fan of Leupold's VX-lll illuminated models. For the money they're pretty good. I'm not clear about the introduction date for the new VX-lll models. There is nothing on their website. Is it the third Thursday in January? Shot Show?

VX3 in reality is a $200.00 scope.If the new VX3 has the VX7 optics it should sell around the current Nikon Monarch prices.

I said once already, that if the VXIII has VX-7 optics it would sell for more like Kahles prices. A 4-12x40 would be about $900

Well, then Leupold needs to go to the doctor and "gets" their head examined!!!
