I had one of these that I let go with a rifle I sold - don't regret selling the rifle but wish I had kept the scope. A lot of scope for $170.

Also noticed this ad over at rimfirecentral,com If in fact it is a VX2 and not one of the earlier iterations this may be a pretty good buy.
I do not know the seller and have no affiliation with him.

Lots of options out there.

edited to add - I know you said that he would not be dialing but the Sightrons I have owned (4) have always dialed perfectly, Leupolds not so much.
