I've owned the capped versions of both. Glass in the Leupold seem very slightly better. For whatever reason, I found the vortex more comfortable on the eye when I shouldered the gun, though. Honestly, not sure why. Sold the leupy, the pst sits on my AR.

I have a vortex and really like it. The only thing is I wish that I bought it with capped turrets.

It is dim. It is not day light bright like a rds.

I have returned a couple of Leupolds with very satisfactory results.
Once I bought a used vari X III 3.5-10x40 AO I thought it wouldn't hold zero so I sent it in for service. 10 days later I got a call from Leupold saying the scope was discontinued and they would replace it with a new one. They gave me three options and I took the vxIII 4.5-14x40.
I would call that bending over backwards.
Looking back on it, I don't think the scopes were defective. My scope leveling skills have improved

Shot with the vortex yesterday on a DDm4v11. I have it mounted in a ADM QD lever mount. The reticle lights up well and is easy to see on the mid to higher settings during the middle of the day. Although, I prefer it off. The reticle is easy on the eye and centers the target well. Using it on 4x, I was hitting steel freehand easily at 120 yards (max of the range I was at yesterday). I do recommend the capped turrets unless you just really need the tactical ones for matches or what have you. It's way too easy to forget to rezero your scope if you don't do it all the time, even if you use the vortex shim kit. Then you put it up, and your next cold bore shot is no where near your target. Have seen it too many times.
for what it's worth, the vortex vs leupold issue is a wash. They are both great and want to make sure any scope issues are resolved quickly. Not to mention, if you want to change reticles or do some upgrading to your Leupold, their custom shop is excellent.
