Default Leupold LPS scopes

Does anyone have experience with Leupold’s LPS series of scopes? How does the glass compare to a VX3?

Rebranded as the vx6 to increase sales, then they put the glass coatings on the vx3i which made the glass as good or better than the vx6...I have had all 3 and nothing wrong with the LPS.. price point for used would be 700 to 900 imho

Just my old tired eyes...vx3i best of the lot...those coatings forced leupold to go to hd glass...p'd off a lot of Lot and vx6 owners...but still great glass

From what I’ve read Leupold won’t work on the LPS scopes and that they are replacing them with VX-6 models. Again I didn’t call Korth, just what I read. I’m going to pass on the scope that I found so if anyone wants a LPS 2.5-10x45 it’s on hunt BC forum. He’s asking $600. I just don’t want a 45mm objective.

I think it would be a great one to buy
If something goes wrong they can’t fix it so they will give you the best scope they make as a replacement 🤷*♂️
