whats the diff?

[Remington]

Can someone explain to me what the difference is between these two leupold scopes:

GOLDEN RING VX-III LONG RANGE · 4.5 - 14 x 40mm

GOLDEN RING VX-III SCOPES · 4.5 - 14 x 40mm

the long range one is $100 more? But what makes it more long range than the second one?

The lr model has side focus

and a 30mm main tube

30mm maintube = greater internal elevation adjustment compared to 1" maintube.

Side focus = ability to remove parallax at distances other than 150 yds.
