Leupold VXI vs VXII

[JTA]

I currently have a Leupold VXI 3-9X40 and I am very happy with it. I just picked up a new hunting rifle that needs to be scoped. I am going to go with another 3-9X40 from Leupold. There appears to be about a $120.00 difference between the VXI and the VXII. Is the VXII worth the extra money?

Thanks

The VX-II has click adjustments on the windage and elevation vs friction adjustment on the VX-I. The big difference is in the lens coatings. The VX-II has "Multi coat 4) on all lens surfaces while the VX-I has this only on the outside surfaces making the VX-II a brighter scope. Phil.

Is there a difference in eye relief between the two or are they about the same?

both are very generous with eye relief, also some models of the VXII will give you adjustable objective parallax settings.

Here's the best of both worlds for you: a VXII for less than the the price of a VXI and with the same warrenty as if you purchased it new:
