    Might as well be as helpful as I can for my first post here. Check this guy out on CGN.https://www.canadiangunnutz.com/foru...-Nice-Leupolds I don't know him personally, however 325 for a VX2 3-9x40 is not bad of a deal.

    Actually they claim 'weatherproof and shockproof', weatherproof may not equal waterproof. No claims on the Scorpion site as to what their definition is, sketchy at best.
    Ran into the same issue years ago dealing with Nikon, they promised some products were waterproof, but others just weatherproof.

    I'm a naysayer on the VX2. They have a known issue where over time the power ring becomes so stiff that it is nearly impossible to turn it. They do have a great warranty and they repaired mine promptly but it was still VERY stiff. I also don't care for the smaller objective but that is a personal old guy with less than awesome vision.

    In your price range I'd look at the Vortex scopes. Or save up some more cash and get a VX3 or even look for a used VX3.

    I would look for an used Leupold VX3 3.5-10x40, not a better scope for the money, you can see if you can find a CDS version as your looking for Range, Dial, Shoot system !
