Leupold VX-3 vs. VX-R...Glass differences?

Servo77 · June 5, 2011, 10:20 PM

I can see the differences in terms of available magnification and illuminated reticles of the VX-R, and I see the VX-r appears to have a 30 mm tube, but what about the quality of the glass. I have read that the VX-3 is actually better glass and the VX-r is more like the VX-2 line of scopes in terms of glass.

What say you?
