Pardon me, the magnification on the Leupold is 3.5-10. 

Any difference worth mentioning in terms of durability or scratch/corrosion resistance?

Not sure a 3-9 comes in the VX3 series.
That statement is about as full of BS as Eremicus's focus-posts.............JB/MD

If you do get the Leupold it too will serve you well; and if you never compare it side-by-side with another scope, you will like the glass in the Leupold..
 
Yup, that pretty much sums it up.

I am currently looking for my first rifle scope, to be put on my Remington 700 in .308, used for target shooting and eventually hunting whitetail. The specs I am looking for are 3-9X40mm.

I have found the Zeiss Conquest and the Leupold VX-3 both in 3-9X40 for $500. I think I'd be happy with either one of these. Would anyone like to weigh in on the pros and cons of these two scopes?

Thanks in advance!
