Subject: Any noticeable difference in Leupold VX1 and VX2
Posted: January/13/2016 at 13:02
There is a specific reticle currently only available on the Leupold VX1 2-7x33mm scope that I'd like to have installed on the same scope but in a VX2. The spec differences I see online is the VX2 has 94% light transmission compared to 92% on the VX1. The VX1 uses Multicoat 4 coatings whereas the VX2 claims "Diamond coat and have blackened edges" (whatever that means) and the VX2 also has 2nd generation Argon/Kryton filling for protection against fogging from rapid temperature changes.

I talked with Leupold today and for $70 I can get the XB1 reticle that I want installed in a XB2 scope. Will I see any real noticeable difference between a XB! versus a XB2 as far as low light capability and/or clarity? Thanks.
