Quote: I have a Leupold VX's on both my 375 and 460 for the last 9 years of abuse, and they hold up good.
I'm getting a new 375 .. so right now I'm looking at getting the Leupold VX-3 with the illuminated cross hairs. They make a VX-7 also but it didn't seam to be worth the difference in price.
The articles I have read on the VX-7--is that they are unusually heavy compared to the VX-3--there is concern as to durability in relation to weight of scope versus recoil of said big bore rifle.. I agree with you--have many of the vx-3's and love them..also have 1.5 to 5's or 1.75-6 on my dangerous game rifles with no problems to date..
