I went back and looked up the optics tests via the Rifle Looney News.
RLN Volume 4, Issue 1 Leupold 2-12x42 VX-6 8
RLN Volume 3, Issue 2 2.5-10x45 Leupold VX-7 8
MD says in RLN (not trying to plagerize MD, just an FYI):
I�ve tested several dozen scopes over the years. So far all have rated between 5 (an uncoated Weaver from the 1950�s) to 8 (a few $1000+ scopes from Le- upold, Schmidt & Bender, Swarovski and Zeiss). Most modern multi-coated variables rate between 6 and 7. The test obviously doesn�t rate color rendition, and isn�t meant to, since individual humans see color differently. Instead it�s meant as an approximate gauge of optical sharpness and brightness.
