Leopold vx2 review/opinion

I’m not a fan of leupolds. I find the eye relief awkward (and yes I have owned one). If I had £450 burning a hole in my pocket I would be looking at a 2nd hand Schmidt, Swaro or Zeiss. Maybe a new vortex if tacticool is your thing.
Definitely try it mounted to your 243 in the gun shop if it’s possible and compare to others in stock

Hi I have a vx 3 4.5-14x50 on my 308 had it for about 8 years and I can't folt it very good in low light . I also have a4.5-14 x50 30mm tube side focus mil dot with target turrets this lives on my 223 had this for about 10 years ,I wouldn't consider changing any of them .i think £450 is a fair price for a very nice scope good luck

I also have a vx3 4.5-14x50 fitted to a .243. Great in low light and personally I think the quality of the glass is just as good, if not equal to some of my European made scopes. My Binos are also Leopold and I love them, had them for over 10 years now.

Seems to me too expensive. Not far from the cost of a new VX-3i 4.5-14x50 which I would prefer (£493 in the US at the moment) (Leupold VX-3i 4.5-14x50, Duplex, Matte - 170704).
VX-3i scopes are better built and have better glass coatings than VX-2 models.
Seems too expensive for a VX2, as said, you could easily get a VX3 for that price. Leupold not noted for their last light capabilities, if that’s an issue
I like Leupold. But the uk prices are silly in comparison to the states. Also the lack of supplier and i felt back up when I was looking for a top scope. But my wife and I like the ones we have. But do shop around there is a few older ones that can be a good deal at the minute.

As said above, get the vx3i for similar money. I have one as a spare, I thought I was up grading when I bought a 2nd hand swaro Z4i off here but in reality the low light performance was virtually the same. The vx3i suited the gun better but left the swaro on only because of the illuminated dot.
Get a vx3i not a vx2.
£435 from the states + delivery/tax but worth it!

May be true for some older models, but in my experience the more recent VX-3 and VX-3i are very good in low light, especially the 3.5-10x50 model.
