Leupold VX1 on sale - should I get it?
I can get a 2013 Leupold 3-9x40 Leupold VX1 on sale tomorrow.
Out the door it'll be $193. I've been shopping around a lot for a new scope and price wise this looks like a good deal. I was also looking at Redfield Revs, Prostaffs and Vortex DBs. Which I could also get about the same price as this deal. The sale ends tomorrow. And then it's back to $229. A new scope is a relatively big purchase for me but at the same time I am willing to pay for the quality and warranty of Leupold. I'd be mounting it on my Ruger .308 What do you guys think? Your $.02 are very welcome. Thanks. |

It's really up to you. To me the VX-1 and Revolution scopes were so close in overall performance that I went with a Revolution 3-9x52. Keep in mind that Leupold also owns Redfield now.

IMO, get the Leupold. The new versions (except the Rifleman) are good deals. With a discount, even better.

I have the Leupold Rifleman 3-9 x 40 and have had no problems with it. It was an anniversary model made in 2007 and still going strong.
I also have a NIkon prostaff 3-9 x 40 that is a great scope also. |

Most of my rifles have Leupolds on them. I have never been sorry about any of them.
I can't say as much for Nikon, Bushnell. Burris, Tasco and a few others. The price stings when you buy them but 25 years later I'm sure you will be glad you did. |

Another vote yes, get the Leupold. That VX1 will fit the bill perfectly on a .308. I have an older one and really love it.
