I'll be very curious what replaces them. The 3i line was perfect for my budget. Glad i just got another one this last year.

...from the cover page
The same spirit that made this country great goes into every Leupold scope. Each one is designed to outperform other scopes and it's tested like no other optic on Earth. It's built for a lifetime of performance, and we guarantee that forever.
As long as they live up to the above, and don't let the bean counters create ad copy and re-engineer quality, Leupold will be fine.

Wow there went that theory!
This is how conspiracies get started. 
Leupold dominates this category, so there is not a chance they are going away from that. They are doubling down. The VX5HD and the VX6HD are both "HD" because of the coatings, lenses, etc.
The next line of VX3 will drop the "i" and will be VX3HD, as they are making some upgrades to increase the value proposition.
I suspect you will be hearing the actual details in the next week or so. Rest assured, it is taking their leadership position in this value class and making it even better.
And trust me, you will like the VX3HD a LOT!

I already liked the VX3i a lot. Since they added the ZL it was the best bang for your buck out there IMHO. I just got done switching mine all out. I hope for my wallets sake I don’t like the HD at all.

Glad to hear they are trying to make improvements and not abandoning this price range and value blend of scopes.This is how conspiracies get started.

Yikes! I was planning on getting 2 VX-3i's within the next year. Now do I jump on a close out deal for a 3i?, or do I wait for the 3HD?

If I find closeout deals on VX-3i's I'm buying one. Or two.

I figured that BigFin would have the inside scoop!
Any idea on a release date as I'm in the market for a new scope for a February hunt?
Thx.

I don't know the actual release date to retailers. Soon, I suspect, but not sure.
This news is sad but exciting! Thanks for the inside scoop Big Fin! I can’t wait to see what replaces this excellent scope.This is how conspiracies get started.

Good deal. I’m in the market for a new scope and am leaning VX 5 but I’ll wait and check out this new offering.

Not that throw lever.
Bruce.....the adjuster ring wasn’t broken, it didn’t need to be fixed.
