Maybe it's just me, but I've never thought that the Leupold 1-4x20 or 1.5-5x20 were as bright, transferred light(?), as well as the comperable series 2-7x28, 2-7x33, or 3-9x33.
I have a couple Vari-X III 1.5-5x20s mounted on brush guns, a Ruger 44 International and a Ruger 77 RSI in 308, but I don't think that I've carried either rifle afield for at least a decade.
