Last VX3 was over $400. Love it but the $159 Burris I bought before season has compared very well to it. Last FF2 is now my oldest scope. Every time I look at swapping it..I look through it and change my mind. Never a hint of trouble

I used to get those feelings of wanting to try something different, but then like you, I'd look through the FFII's and compare them to some other scopes and realize the FFII may not cost a lot, but you get a lot of scope for the money.
