I compared this side by side with the accupoint. I think this has better glass, and I like the brighter dot. I have the VXR Patrol version with the turrets. Easy to adjust and works great. Good scope with alot of features for the money.

I have been a Leupold fan for over thirty years, and own over a dozen of their scopes. I have always been very pleased with Leupold quality and have never been disappointed. This scope is no exception, and I highly recommend it.

I would love to recommend these scopes, based on the excellent fire-dot idea and the optical quality. However, after having problems with two units, I feel compelled to say "Beware!" My first VX-R would not shoot better than a 3.5" group on a Rock River LAR-8, using three different kinds of ammo, two different mounts, and three competent shooters. It's on its way back to Leupold, and I'm waiting for their assessment. The other unit had bad electronics; the red dot turned off after every shot on an AR-15. This defect was immediately apparent, and OpticsPlanet covered the return postage, sending a replacement scope right away. (Great service!) Although I love the fire-dot, I would steer people toward Nikon's M-223 2-8 x 32 scope, which is only about $350, and delivers similar performance.

Great scope for mid range on any rifle. I plan to use it on the AR platform for 200-400 yard range practice on an 18" Stag Arms 3g. Reputation, clear glass, Fire Dot and unique reticle were the deciding factors for my purchase. I've recently standardized on Leupold scopes and now have four. American made, family owned fair prices make their scopes high value. I shoot for fun and the 2nd Amendment. This product adds to both goals.
