IMO the 4200 series is neck and neck with the VX-II and the older vari X II lines. Both are clear, crisp, dependable and excellent values for the money.

I have a half a dozen 4200s and 4 VX -IIs. I can't tell the difference between them at normal hunting or target shooting ranges.

It is the general consensus in the firearm optics world the that in terms of optics and durability 4200's = VX-III = Nikon Monarch. The 4200 is a better scope than the VX-II in all areas except eye relief. The Rainguard is a nice touch and it acts as an extra coating and actually increases light transmission.

I own several Leupolds along with several Nikon Monarchs, and feel the 4200 to be at least the equal of the Monarchs and any Leupold I own, save the European 30mm models.

Nice scopes J. and if I hadn't blown my wad purchasing two rifles and 200 rounds of .35 Whelen ammo (Smoking Deal at Dick's $14.79 200 grain PSP) this week might have bought one. They would be great to put on my .204 Ruger for prairie dogs.

VXII no thanks for low light

I have owned 2 VXII scopes, one was 3x9x40 and the other was 3x9x50. Both were terrific for holding zero, but both were very disappointing in low light situations. As long as you don't want to use them in low light they are great. Bushnell, Nikon, Pentax, and Burris are all better choices for low light than VXII's. Bushnell Legend, 3200 and 4200 are much better. Nikon Buckmaster,Monarch, and even Prostaff are much better, Pentax Gameseeker, Lightseeker are better, and the Burris Fullfield II and Euro Diamond, and Signature series are better. I have heard from friends that the VXIII's are better at transmitting light than the VXII and lower line Leupold scopes.

IDAHO83501,

I wasn’t asking you for your opinion on the scopes that I was selling. I have owned everything from Bushnell to Swarovski I know what does what better than others so if your only intension was to bring to light that the scopes I am selling are inferior to the ones you listed (in your opinion) then by all means keep your comments to yourself.

Oh and by the way, you don’t buy a 4-12 for low light conditions, especially one with an AO; if you do then you simply do not understand optics. If you want low light go with a low fixed or low end variable.

So "no thanks" on your take.
