I'll be "that guy".
Good riddance to the VX3i line.
I have a bunch of Leupold scopes that I really like. I have Vari-X-III's, VX-II's, VX-III's, VX-3's and Mark 4's, I think I even have a Vari-X-IIc and I wouldn't trade them for anything. I only own one VX-3i and I would never buy another. The one I have and a couple others I've played with just aren't impressive. The power adjustment rings all felt too loose and a little gritty, same with the focal adjustment. The parallax seems much less forgiving than other similar scopes when aiming at close targets.
I hope Leupold has improved more than just the glass on the new line.

The 3.5-10 VX3HD would sit pretty nicely on my Kimber Hunter.

Mine doesn’t either.

My understanding is the VX-3i is being replaced by the new VX-3HD, what the difference is, I have no idea. We'll have to wait and see, my guess is better glass.

I just got an email from Leupold that VIP accounts are offline for a few days.

Have you had a chance to play around with one yet?

New website looks good, and yes it does seem easier to use. Unfortunately, I don't see any of the higher powered VX-3HD's listed yet....I imagine they're coming. I'm looking for something in a 6-18 range. Also no sign of the Mark 3HD which was rumored to be coming.
I don't open items up very often. No one likes getting a box with the seal broken. So no, I have not looked at or played with one.
Know if any more non-CDS models are in the works other than whats listed on the Leupold site?

I have the 4.5-14x40 3i that I am mounting to a Kimber 280AI.
How 'accurate' is the CDS? I was going to pair it with my RXi1300 Rangefinder.

If you want to check them out I'll take any broken seal items off your hands. 50% discount seems fair.

Anyone have an insight as to whether or not they will be making the VX-3HD in anything higher than a 4.5-14 power??
I don't see anything listed on the new website. Maybe in 2022? I am in the market for a varmint/long range type scope. I didn't particularly want to drop down to the freedom line, and didn't necessarily want to get into a VX-5.

I saw a 6.5-20 while I was looking through OpticsPlanet this morning. 50mm obj., 30mm tube
