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.

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 sayBig Grin

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!
