That is one thing you are wrong about my Tasco is way clearer than my Leupold VX I is. I think thats part of the problem with the VX I. It got to where it was blurry after a shot and when I sat and watched it you could see it settle down like it was shaking. It wasn't the clearest thing to begin with though. Now I know it's a low end Leupold but it still wasn't cheap. It's being sent back to Leupold now so hopefully it gets fixxed. Maybe I will be highly impressed when it comes back I just haven't been in the time I've owned it. I may like you said realize I'm not a fan of cheap scopes later on down the road though.
