[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 307775, member: 4191"] My hunting style and needs are similar to yours John. As a consequence I agree with just about everything beneficial to the lighter weight scope you've identified. I'm selling my heavy (29 oz) scopes. They're nice on a bench, but my Alaskan hunting involves a lot of packing and walking. So I'm not in the NF clan, primarily because they're not the best fit for my style of hunting. I do like some of their reticle options though. What I didn't know was that the new Leupold VX-3 glass was improved. I've been drifting over to Sightron SIII scopes - the quality of their glass being a primary factor. It is top rate glass. I guess I need to look through some new Leupold VX-3 scopes and see if the quality of the glass has indeed improved. I drifted away from Leupold scopes 5-6 years ago because I desired better resolution and light transmission. How can I know if I'm looking through a NEW VX-3 with all of the upgraded features, versus one of the older model VX-3s? Is there an obvious, telltale sign? Thanks, [/QUOTE]
