[QUOTE="comfisherman, post: 2820261, member: 8394"] Vx-iii, vx-3, vx-3i, and now the 3hd have the same exact erector ratios and to my knowledge the same internals. The changes over generations have been in the extern coatings the lense coatings and the physical presentation of the turret. Right now there is some amalgamation of vxr tech being rolled into both vx freedom and some iterations of the vx and mark 3 hd lines. Leupold does some squirrely stuff and the absolute entrenchment to minimal update with each lineage even with price hikes is one of my biggest head scratcher. That said it doesn't take away from what they are, namely the best choice for a set and forget ultralight compact hunting optic. I've had a few and all were great scopes... but I never dialed them. The amount of objective data with the vx3 lines struggling over time with robust dialing is far past anecdotal. So if you get one that wanders when adjusted you won't be the first person to experience that... But hey, everything has its purpose just be honest about what you need it for and buy accordingly. If heavy twisting is the goal, there are better options. Conversely there is almost nothing else even in the category for a point and click mountain gun. (Well swaro z3, and maybe accupoint for just a smidgen more $$$) [/QUOTE]
