Where was this scope you looked though during the afternoon and were underwhelmed? Inside a store?
Scope is for a sporter weight 22 mag to be used on small game out to 100 yards or so, budget is about $400
When comparing scopes in store I'll pick the most distant dark corner and try to identify detail, perhaps not the most scientific method of comparison but indicative.
I was hard pressed to tell the difference between it and a Nikon costing significantly less; was expecting more of the VX3i.
