And can have the availability of an illuminated reticle. The VX-2 uses the same coating on the lenses as the VX-3 Boasts 94% light transmission. Has finger adjustable 1/4 MOA turrets. Only available with a 1" tube 1" tube = 58 MOA Has the traditional threaded diopter adjustment. Non-Illuminated Also purged with Krypton and Argon.

Thanks Skylar.
It looks like the only differences that may affect me woyld be the twilight lenses and the light transmission difference. Im not sure if thats worth the money difference. The VX-2 is a lot easier on my wallet. Thanks for the help! |
