I had a chance to look through the Leupold Vari-X II at dusk and moon light tonight. It is not even close the clarity and brightness I had with my Nikon Monarch. I hope the new VX II is better than the Vari-X II.

I also realized the shotgun model comes with the heavy duplex versus the regular of the rifle model. I am really going to lay into Gander Mountain when I return this thing for the line of BS they gave me saying the Shotgun and rifle model are the same.

I also called Leupold Service and the guy I talked to was a real jerk. He did not want to give me any info at all. Not a good way to sway a potential customer.
