Looking to put a new scope on a 30-06. What are the differences in the VX1, VX2, and Rifleman? They are all about the same price.

I found a vx2 4-12x40 40mm with CDS online. I can't find this scope on Leupolds website. Anyone seen this flavor VX2 before? It's only $367. Seems like a good deal, but strange that Leupold doesn't show it . It's exactly what Im looking for.
There are several flavors of VX2 4-12x40, including one CDS with windplex reticle here. https://www.leupold.com/scopes/compact-scopes/vx-2-4-12x40mm
Get in touch with Schmalts on this board, aka Predator Optics, for some excellent pricing.
I have a VX2 4-12 with CDS. mtmuley
I do like the vx3, really like the vx5, but I have 2 rifles that need scopes. Was hoping to get something a little more economical for my 06, and maybe get a 5 for my 6.5 which I want to use for a 1000yd target gun/ coyote antelope gun. Maybe Im looking at it backwards since the 06 will be a deer/ elk rifle and your points of low light conditions will be not nearly as important on yotes and lopes. Decisions decisionsI've used a VX-3, 1.75-6.0 for deer, bear, four sheep, antelope, caribou, moose, elk, and coyotes. I've never taken it off of 4x. I previously used a VX-2, but at last light on a Colorado elk hunt I couldn't see well enough to shoot. The VX-3 has better coatings and are brighter (more light transmission) and I have not missed an opportunity at last light since. If you're an younger person, your iris might open up to 7mm, older farts like me are probably are only good for 5.5-6 mm. The more light in the exit pupil the brighter the image. FWIW. GJ
How do you like it? I'll be using it for 500 yd target practice and 300 yd max hunting hunting shots
Nothing not to like about the 2's but for a few more bucks (at Schmalts's pricing) the new 3's are a bargain IMO.
