I have an old Leupold Vari-X iic that has been on several different rifles over the years. From my understanding the new VX-1's are basically the old Vari-X ii's. Never had any problems getting this scope to work as it should. It currently rides on a newly acquired T/C Icon that took a nice Virginia 8 pointer on a recent deer hunt.

Having said that, I also use a Sightron S2 on a muzzleloader and a Zeiss Conquest on another bolt gun. I am happy with all of the scopes and they perform as advertised. I have also used Leupold VX-1's, Nikon Monarchs, Bushnell Elite 3200's and 4200's and never had problems with them either. I did have an Elite 4200 that had a defect from the factory but it was never mounted on a rifle and the retailer swapped the scope out.

I don't always agree with what BigCountry has to say but IMO he is very knowledgeable and if I'm not mistaken works in the optics industry?? When I say works in the industry I am not meaning as a salesman either. I might be confusing that with someone else....don't know for sure.
