My VX2 Leupold is a great scope, clear and very forgiving eye box. I’m a bit of a glass snob too (I own Swarovski binos). The VX3i would be even better than my VX2. Go for it.
Should be a good match for your rifle!Well I have decided on the Leupold VX3i 3.5-10X40 duplex scope, with Leupold backcountry aluminum rail and backcountry medium aluminum rings.
The rings and rail are top notch 7075 aluminum.
What do you think about the VX5 HD 2.5-10X42 duplex scope for this application?Should be a good match for your rifle!
It’s been a couple of years since I handled a Cabela’s Meopta but they were MeoPro’s then, not MeoStar’s.
I have a VX-3 1.75x6x32 with a German #4 reticle. I love the scope, there is something about it not measurable that I like. Only problem is they have been discontinued for a good while. I’d also want a bit more top end magnification on a .270 but that’s purely personal. A VX-3i 2.5-8x36 would be great.I would reccomend the 1.75-6 personally.

NOT BASHING Luepold,as there's a dz or so here but, if you're into "dialing" they wouldn't be my first choice. As a,set it and forget it,hunting scope.... they're peachy.
I’ve never owned or used a scope with a German #1 reticle. Being that the German #4 is my favorite and most of my non rimfire scopes have them I believe I’d like the #1 and wouldn’t mind owning a scope with one. I don’t know of any current scopes that have them and don’t want to go with an older scope because of glass quality.Oh yeah they are great scopes. Mine is just a standard duplex that I got off a local classifieds site for cheap. I do have a vari xiii with a german #1 that is my all time favorite scope. It sits on my kimber 243 and I use it for coyotes and occasionally one doe hunts.
I like Leupold scopes, I have more Leupold and Meopta than any other brand. The VX line is not known for the preciseness of its turrets for dialing. I’ve not molested a VX-5HD, I have experience with the VX-6 though and they do track noticeably better than my VX-2, VX-R and VX-3 scopes. I’m not a turret twister, if I were it wouldn’t be with a VX Leupold.Care to elaborate? Not doubting you or your sources, bit I'm a knob twirler and was literally just fiddling with a VX-5hd 3-15 I really liked for my contender pistol. I need a scope that can handle a lot of changes....
