I just bought another VXIII. I used it and it's twin all summer shooting groundhogs. I hunted early muzzle loader with a Nikon Pro-staff. I can not se the money difference on those eiter. So next scope for a walker will be a Nikon Monarch. That said, I am building a cross over gun. One for live varmits and egg/grounhog shoots. Prone and bench alike. This seems to be the ticket. Good info.
