Crocket's Review of Leupold VX-3i 2.5-8x36mm Riflescope
This is my first Leupold scope. The optics are as great as everyone says in the reviews on the internet. Plenty of eye relief to prevent getting a black eye when using with larger caliber rifles. It is a great scope in every way except one - it does not include an indicator ring on the elevation/windage turrets to show if you have adjusted beyond a full turn. Leupold doesn't mention this anywhere that I could find in their literature. If you don't intend to shoot out beyond 60 clicks on your turrets, I guess it is not a problem. With this being an 8X max scope, I probably won't be attempting anything out beyond a full rev on the elevation turret anyway, so should work fine for me. (I got this scope on sale for a really good price; however, if I had paid full price, I would have considered returning it since this aspect was not clearly defined in their literature. Again, for an 8X scope, it may not be a big deal unless you plan to push it out beyond 400 yards - depending on the ballistics involved.)
Pros:
Leupold Quality
light weight
Great Optics Clarity
Cons:
No Indicator Ring on Elev Turret
Best Used for:
Hunting to 300 Yards
Would Recommend:
Yes
