As with all of the Leupold scopes I have used over the years, the VX-3 line is great. This 6.5-20x40 scope has amazing clarity and the AO is spot on for getting distant targets focused in nice and crisp. And with the Alumina flip-open covers (sold separate) this thing is completely weatherproof and always ready for the shot. Not to mention the outstanding Leupold warranty that stands behind this scope. Unless you want to go up to the $1,000+ price range, this scope can't be beat.
Pros: Clear, great zoom, looks sweet, warranty
Cons: none
