The quality of these scopes has went to schitt also, not what the older vari-xiii quality level was, so you are getting what you pay for.

I ordered two from Mollysplacellc on Dec 14th. late PM. tracking number provided 12/15, 12/16 package arrived @ Galena, MD, 12/16 arrived @ Linthicum distribution center, MD, 12/17 departed Linthicum,MD, 12/17 arrived @ Hyattsville, MD, 12/18 depart District Heights, MD. Still, expected delivery on 12/20/18....at this point I'll be happy if they can make it out of Maryland.  They aren't even headed in the right direction  Nothing to do with Mollysplacellc, they did their part, fast ship to USPS.....Just that time of year, I'm sure they will make it here..... ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/i4eJMVU.gif) ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/7zM8s2N.gif) One showed up this morning at front door. Post marked 12/15, USPS 2day Priority mail, not counting the weekend I guess it's good......The 2nd one is still in Maryland according to tracking info.

The finish is not what we’re used to on the older Leupold for one thing. Be careful not to rub it on the box, it may rub a bare place. It’s still a good value I think. I’ve bought 4 of them. I still don’t think it’s the quality of the previous model.

I thought the same thing when I pulled mine out of the box. Can't complain too much for the price, but they certainly don't look as high quality as the older VX3's. They just have a cheap look to them, whether it's the finish, or the screening printing of the numbers, etc.

Vx3i Glass is WAAAY better than vari-x III and vxiii. I also think it's better than vx3, but only very slightly. While I prefer the looks of vx3 over 3i, the 3i has an easier to turn power ring. I got mine today and it is a SCREAMING deal at $231. Lots of people complained about the USPS packaging materials, but this one had Styrofoam peanuts, which are about the most annoying packaging material there is. I'll take repurposed USPS packaging any day over peanuts.

I got one of these and don't really need it. If anybody wants to reimburse me and pay for shipping for $245 shipped, it's yours. Just PM me. I did take the plastic off to look at it....but that's it.
ETA: It's gone - headed to Leonard. Thanks.

Missed the sale on grapes.
But those grapes are sour anyhow
Lol.
Another vote for Molly's.
Earlier in the year they had a vx-freedom untimateslam that came with a free Leupold AR mount.
Sold the mount, and the final scope price came to $135
