Great scope for .22 or airgun - Leupold VX-2 3-9x33mm Ultralight Rifle Scope

The Leupold 3-9 x 33 EFR CDS is a nice scope for a .22 rifle or an air gun. I use it on an older TX200 spring powered rifle. The lenses are braced for the bi-directional recoil that spring rifles have. The turrets are accurate and repeatable and zero can be reset. Mine has the CDS dial for elevation and in minute of angle markings(MOA), and a capped windage turret that is not resettable but does have a ring at the base of the adjustment dial that can be set to where the current zero is.

The glass is very clear and enables me to do shoot, no shoot determinations on birds. English sparrows and European Starlings are my target species because they compete with our native song birds, so I want to make sure I get the right critter when I make the shot. The reticle I have is the wind-plex which has MOA markings with five to a side. They are accurate with the turrets at maximum magnification (9x).

My copy has a somewhat loose ocular lens adjustment. It rotates too easily and probably needs to be adjusted by Leupold. There was a little extra glue on the objective lens parallax adjustment ring. Nothing too bad but it should be clean. This isn’t a cheap scope by any means and this stuff should be caught by quality assurance staff. I have another one of these scopes that I bought locally and have nothing to complain about.

It is a good scope and Optics Planet has good pricing on it.
