Hey Kamlooky,

Google translate was unable to determine which native tongue your post is, so we'll have to do our best to decipher your question...lol

The only noticeable difference between the Vari-X and VX series is the lens coatings. The new optics have a higher quality lens coating. As technology advances, the coatings Leupold employs on their optics advances from the previous generation. If you were to compare your VX-2 to the VX-Freedom, you will find the Freedom has a clearer image. This is due to the advancement in the coatings.

Both optics are equally durable, and feature Leupold's lifetime warranty.

Post a few photos of this rifle when you have the optic mounted.

I was going to mount the VX-2, but cripes, that gal is shiny.
Went thru the pile again and found a VXII in matte.
So on it went.

Sure great when things fall together too easy.
Mounted the rings, clamped a 1" stainless bar in the rings and tightened things up a bit.
Then tightened the base screws.
Put the scope on there and set the + hairs.
Tightened the rings down.
Install the bore sight and made two windage marks and down a few for elevation.

Just that easy.

Thanks for the info Korth.

I wonder if I could move the #4 front ring to the back to replace the #5 and get a #3 for the front?
Scope sits a tad high for my liking.
Cheek weld is good.

Photos coming.

Glad to hear it worked out! You should be able to run a lower set of rings, and get that objective as close as possible to the barrel. Let us know if you have any questions! Oh, we want to see pics when you can.

I know, crumpittzs, but I yewse wutt I gartzs.
And to think not that long ago I had an S2 stainless all set up with ahhh matching Leupold
scope.
Let that package go way to cheap.
Should of at least kept the scope for future considerations.

Such is life.

For now, j'uis swee contentahhmundow.
