Don' t fret, lost arrow. Your VXII will serve you well for many, many years. I' ve got one pushing 14 years of age on my .270 Wby Mag and it has never let me down. It never has lost its zero, and I don' t think I' ve ever run across a situation where I would have been able to take a shot with a " better" scope that I didn' t take with it. [:-]
