the only problem with talking with the folks on here is that they are all scope yuppies, no offense to anyone, however very few who frequent this forum would admit to having a vx-ii, because they are optically inferioir to a vx-iii. having said that, go to a local sporting goods store and look through the vx-ii and the vx-iii, if you do not see that much difference buy the vx-ii, still a great scope and about $250-300 less money. the scope yuppies on here, do however have more knowledge than any forum i have ever been on. a vx-ii to a vx-iii is like riding a moped to the guys onhere, it will get you to work......you just do not want your friends to see you riding it.
I'm very definitely a scope-SNOB.
I have a loopy 3-9x40 vx-ii that I leaned up in the corner of my reloading bench. I practice looking down my nose at it and trying to make a face like I'm smelling dirty socks! LMAO!!
