[QUOTE="SBruce, post: 469686, member: 21068"] You're Welcome:) The VX7 is Leupolds top tier hunting scope. They are about double the price of the VX3's. The optics rival (possibly even beat) my NightForce scopes for brightness/clarity/contrast. They cost just as much as the NF does though, and they don't have a zero stop. They utilize a speed dial type of turret, that has an integral spring loaded screw down stowable cap. It also has 30mm tube and I believe it has different newer lense coatings. It's got a super forgiving eyebox too. Not that there's anything wrong with the VX3's or the Mark 4's, I just wanted to try the speed dial system and wanted something different from what I already had. Here's a link, you can also check out their other scopes here.
