After owning and using 2 of them, a Vari X III and a VX3 in 2.5-8, if money was no object I would replace all my other scopes with them (except my lever guns, maybe). Durable, light, good glass, and just plain looks good, especially on lighter, slimmer rifles such as Mod. 70 fwts, Ruger Ultralights, etc. I don't think you can go wrong with one.
