If your budget is a few hundred dollars, then I don&#8217;t see anything wrong with one of Leupold&#8217;s VX-I scopes. Add a couple hundred bucks more to your budget, and the VX-II line is a step up without breaking the bank. This year though, Leupold is replacing those lines with improved VX-1 and VX-2 lines, respectively. Typically a manufacturer uses a change like this to implement a price increase, but Leupold&#8217;s Pat Mundy says the company was able to &#8220;hold the line on price,&#8221; and that&#8217;s good news for the consumer.<\/p>\n<p>So what&#8217;s new other than replacing the Roman numeral designation with Arabic? Well, they&#8217;re brighter. Of course every scope maker claims the next iteration of a scope line is brighter, but the magnitude is frequently on the order of split hairs. Not this time. While the VX-I claimed about 85% light transmission, the new VX-1 boasts 92%&#8211;and that&#8217;s a significant increase. On the VX-2, the brightness increase to 94% is not so much over the VX-II&#8217;s 92%, but it&#8217;s still an improvement and the VX-II had good light transmission for a scope in its price range to begin with.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1419\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/VX2_3-9x50_Gloss.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"leupold-improves-vx-i-and-ii-to-vx-1-and-2\" title=\"Leupold Improves VX-I and II to VX-1 and 2\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1419\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1419 \" title=\"_VX2_3-9x50_Gloss\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/VX2_3-9x50_Gloss-400x86.jpg\" alt=\"Leupold Improves VX-I and II to VX-1 and 2\" width=\"400\" height=\"86\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/VX2_3-9x50_Gloss-400x86.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/VX2_3-9x50_Gloss-150x32.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/VX2_3-9x50_Gloss-1024x221.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/VX2_3-9x50_Gloss.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1419\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The new VX-2 is slightly brighter than the VX-II that it replaces. The new line of VX scopes are already in the distribution pipeline.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Optically, both are using what Leupold calls its Quantum Optical System, and the specific system is unique to each scope line. The system in the VX-1 line includes lenses with Leupold&#8217;s basic Multicoat 4 coating while the lenses on the VX-2 have Leupold&#8217;s Index Matched lens coating. VX-2 glass also gets a blackened edge treatment and the exterior lenses have DiamondCoat to resist abrasion.<\/p>\n<p>Mechanically, both lines have click-adjustable dials in 1\/4-minute increments, and some models of the VX-2 are available with Leupold&#8217;s Custom Dial System (CDS). I have a CDS-equipped scope on my .22-250 and the darn thing works great. If you&#8217;re not familiar with a CDS, it&#8217;s simply a replacement scope turret dial that is calibrated for your specific load. You provide Leupold with your bullet and velocity information, and they custom-design the dial with elevation marks for your load. Just dial in the distance, aim dead on the target, and shoot. It&#8217;s a great system if you&#8217;re in a stationary position and have the time to range your target and adjust a dial before tripping the trigger. For me, that means groundhogs.<\/p>\n<p>Both scope lines have fast-focus eyepieces and low-profile lock rings. The VX-1 has Leupold&#8217;s traditional nitrogen purge to water-and fog-proof the scope while the VX-2 uses a second-generation argon\/krypton blend.<\/p>\n<p>Something I really like about this line of scopes is that they look how I think scopes ought to look. There&#8217;s no beer can-size eyepiece and instead of curves, the body has clean angles that, to me at least, make a scope look more svelte. The new VX-1 and VX-2 scopes are already in the distribution pipeline, so they may be on your dealer&#8217;s shelves as you read this. The older VX-I and II were good values even before the introduction of these new scopes, but if there are still any left, I imagine you&#8217;ll find some smoking deals on them as dealers move them off the shelf to make way for the new VX-1 and VX-2.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"clickTracking\" title=\"Leupold Optics\" href=\"https:\/\/www.leupold.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"leupold-improves-vx-i-and-ii-to-vx-1-and-2\" title=\"Leupold Improves VX-I and II to VX-1 and 2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.leupold.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the most common questions I get is \u201cWhat\u2019s a good value-priced riflescope?\u201d Well, that depends on your budget.
