Really depends on what models you’re talking about and if you have weight concerns for your application,
The VX3 HD 4.5-14x40 30mm ZL-CDS is about the best compromise for a lightweight long range hunting/shooting scope, but if you don’t mind the extra weight the VX5 HD 3-15x44 ZL-CDS is an excellent option.
If your strictly hunting with it take the money saving approach between the two
Yah those are the 2 models I am looking at
Vx-3hd 4.5-14x40 cds zl vs
Vx-5hd 3-15 x44 cds zl2 side focus
I think its 6.3oz difference.
The firedot might sway me to go vx5
I agree with WF, save the weight, save the cash. Jmo.Quote:

I own both and like Weatherby Fan says if you just hunting go with the 3i.. I’d also wait and see what the new VX3 HD’s look like.

won't happen, they're a 3x zoom range like the previous generations (2.5-8x36, 3.5-10x40, 4.5-14x)Quote:
