Difference between Sightron II and Leupold VXIII

[Bill Allen]

I recently purchased a new Savage muzzleloader and an old Sako 243 and need to scope both rifles. I have about decided to put a 2.5x8x36 VXIII on the Sako and I was thinking of possibly installing a Sightron 2.5x7or10x32 on the muzzleloader. The Leupold is $400 and the Sightron is just over half that price. What differences should I experience between the two scopes? I have heard good reports on both scopes but how do they compare to each other?
