I would like to buy a leupold scope and have narrowed it down to either a VXIII at $400 or the VX 7 at $1300. Is the VX 7 worth three times the money or would I be better off with the VXIII.

Agree with the other comments for several reasons--one being the 7 is heavier and therefore greater chance of shearing mounting screws..secondly, the III is a very good scope..I own close to 20 of them on various powers and adjustments..on my last trip to Africa--got to the range and both scopes needed NO adjustment after the long flight and gorilla airport crew..think that speaks quite well--in addition that is the 4th flight over for both of those scopes..

My PH had concern as to light gathering in early morning and late evening hours--not to worry..had NO problem what so ever..

As to the 1.5 to 5 VXIII--have it as well and also works really well with no problems on my .375 H&H..but for light gathering I do prefer the 1.75 to 6 as it has a bit larger objective lense..
