Comparably speaking, The Rifleman is not worth the price, nor close.

After owning/using multiples of most every scope mentioned, I have concluded that the new model VX1 is not only the best scope value today, but maybe one of the best ever. I now own 4 of them.

I have always liked my Weaver Classic 3-9x38s (NOT the 2-10Xs) and they remain a solid value IMO. As do the Redfield Revolutions.

I still own 2 FF2s. Both with LRS. But I'll never buy another, as 3 have failed.

But for myself, it's easy. If I'm in the market for a "cheaper" scope, the VX1 will get the nod every time now. You can't get more for less..........
