Just wanted some thoughts on this scope I can get it at a good price.
It will be going on a .243 and replacing a Vortex Diamondback 3-9x40 BDC. Won't be selling the vortex that scope has been great. Go on my 22 LR. Mainly a Coyote rifle occasionally target. Does this scope compare to an SS 3-9 + illumination? Thanks |

I have one too. No, the glass on the SS is better.

If at first you don't secede...try..try again.

I think it would make a decent coyote scope. Targets, the reticle in the middle is a little pudgy for that, I have found.

Hmm well with 9 power on the top I wasn't going for too long range. I figure at the price I can get it if its close to as good as the SS + illumination which is great for hunting. Then it will be a solid purchase!
Thanks again |

Since writing that article I've sent the VXR down the road, The SS, you can pry from my cold dead hands as they say

I'd love to compare this vx-r with an ss 3-9. After my experience with the s.s., I would have a hard time believing this scope could be any worse. Now if I could only get my hands on one of these new leupolds!
