I have owned more Leupold 2.5-8x36 scopes in vari-x III, VX3 and VX3i versions than any other scope. My 2.5-8x36 scopes have been swapped around on more rifles than I could possibly recall and not one has ever let me down, optics are good (not great) and they dont track as precise as some of My other scopes but once you get them set they are a great little set and forget scope for the money 👍...Good luck...Hb
