Mounted my first Super Sniper scope this evening on my Kimber 84L. Went from 6lbs 8oz with a VX1 to 7lbs 1oz with the SS 3-9X42 (both weights include a lightweight sling)
There is a little tunneling at 3X but disappears nicely from 4X and higher. The reticle is plenty bold enough to use for hunting and I plan to roll it this year for several hunts. I believe Formidilosus is spot on with his assessment of the glass.

The 3-9x SS is absolutely on par with a VX2 optically. Have seen several dozen, have had them side by side, have measured them in direct comparison. Most can not tell the difference between the VX3's.
Now I just need to get to the range to get it dialed in.
