I have an old Vari-X III with friction adjustments, not the brightest in the world with its basic lens coatings but it is clear and reliable.
Yup, great scope too me, but if I'm paying $250-$300 for one I want the click adjustments.
Proverbs - A wise man feareth, and departs from evil: but the fool rages, in confidence. - It is honor for a man to cease from strife: but every fool will meddle. - Mischief is as sport to a fool: but a man of understanding hath wisdom.
