I know there is currently a vari X II vs Freedom thread currently going on. I purchased and older BRNO chambered in 338-06 that has a Vari X II currently sitting on top. The glass looks really clear to my eyes. The thing is, I got used to ballistic type reticles and like the Burris type. Would I be giving up quality of glass if I sell the Vari X II and replace it with a FF II ? My guess is with the newer coatings etc, the Burris won't be far behind the Leupold but I may be sadly mistaken. Along with that, what would you consider a fair price for the above mentioned scope? 3-9 power, gloss, very little ring marks, and a slight bit of wear/discoloration on the one side. 200? More? Less ? Thanks!
