I can't see enough difference in the optical quality in the VX3s over the old Vari-X III or Vx1 to justify the considerable price difference of a VX3 over a VX1 or VX2. I'm not saying the difference isn't there but I can't see it. YMMV.


There isn't, if you always shoot in sunshine and like heavier scopes with friction adjustments.
