Vxr glass is not quite as good to my eye as accupoint glass. But the quality is easily good enough for all legal ligjt hunting. I have tested mine in really low light vs my accpoint and with the great illumination system it has it works amd looks very close to the accupoint. My accupoint is a 1-4x though and my vxr 3-9x so thing may be different with accupoint 3-9x.
But the point is the leupold is quite good. But if u are willing to spend $300+ more the accupoint is a little better. Illumination wise the vxr has a great system but you are always dealing with the fact the battery may die or the electonics may fail. With the accupoint that is not a concern.
I have an Meopta Artemis, which was the predecessor to the Meopro. It has good glass as well. Not sure I would say it is any better than Accupoint glass though.
One other thing to note the accupoint on 9x only has 3.2 inches of eye relief. That may cause you a few problems when shooting in a sitting position or uphill. Just another thing to think about. I believe the Leupold has 3.7 on 9x.
