Leupold is known for making quality scopes for rifles. Often times, you get what you pay for when you are talking about optics. There are certain times when you can get a good deal on a scope, but for the most part, getting a cheap scope for short ranges is not much of an option.

Here are some of the features of the Leupold VXII 3-9×40 MM Scope:

The LR Duplex® reticle gives you proper holdover points for your rifle’s ballistics profile, allowing you to consistently make accurate, ethical long-range shots.
The Multicoat 4® lens system delivers optimal brightness, clarity, and contrast in all light conditions.
¼-minute click adjustments for windage and elevation.
A lockable, fast-focus eyepiece securely locks your eyepiece once you’ve set your reticle focus.
The tactile power indicator makes it easy to tell your scope’s magnification with just a touch, without ever taking your eye from the eyepiece.
Gloss black, matte black, and silver finishes available.
Also available with the Duplex, Wide Duplex, Heavy Duplex, Leupold Dot, or German #4 reticle.
A durable Leupold Scope Cover is included to protect your valuable VX-II riflescope during transport or when not in use.
Rugged and absolutely waterproof in all conditions.

It is a great hunting scope that gets the job done. A great feature about the scope is that when you are making MOA adjustments, you will notice the clicks, which helps you remember where you are setting your scope. Another thing that this scope does really well with his staying clear when you need it most. Different weather conditions can be a hassle with low-quality scopes, but this one gets the job done.
