Wonder if Leupold will ever make another straight tube 1-4 or 1.5-4 without a funky cluttered up reticle.
There's a matte finish VX-1 on ebay that looks interesting and isn't terribly overpriced
Sometimes things just fall into your lap.
I put that VX-1 1-4 with a good ol' plain duplex reticle on my watchlist and the seller sent a private offer for a big discount that put it into the "very reasonable" range, so I accepted the offer and it's on the way. Looks to be very lightly used, no ring marks at all.
Of course, that tells me it would be hard to sell if I ever wanted to, but I've learned to hang onto stuff like this since you never know what use you'll find for it - other than the immediate use it will have sitting on a Ruger 1A .250 Savage.
