the Kahles is $120 more. Is it worth the price difference? It is going on a Model 7 in a 7mm-08. All shots less than 150 yards and it is in the east Texas pine forest( it gets a little dark and early). Thanks, and should I be considering other light weight scopes for this rig? My budget is less than $600.

I prefer the Kahles, but your situation sounds as if the Loopy would perform fine.

I hunt in the East Texas Piney Woods (Panola County) and use a VX III 2.5-8. It's all you'll ever need. Mine is on a Kimber 84M in .260 Rem.

Can't go wrong with either one.
Check them both out side-by-side if possible and decide for yourself. I think you would have a hard time seeing a $120.00 difference between these two scopes.
Warranty & customer service mean alot to me when making an optics purchase. I can't speak for Kahles, but Leupold has some of the best customer service/warranty in the business. Edited by Stud Duck |

Cannot go wrong with either one. I have a Leupold VX-III 2.5-8x36 and love it. Went to the store to buy another one for a .22lr and walked out with a Kahles instead. Didn't like spending the extra money (almost $200 at LL Beans) but the Kahles 2-7x36 was that much better. I was shocked. Should've saved some money here on SWFA!
