In the Mark 4 line, maybe you can't get a lot more for your money, but you could upgrade to a Nightforce for not much more and get a ton better scope. So while the Leupold VX-II's and better are decent scopes, you can still in most cases get a lot more glass for the money with other brands.
So you read, right?
That being said, I've also owned a Vari-X IIc and while it worked fine, the glass still was pretty crappy for the price of it. Supposedly the same glass as a VX-I, and it looked very similar. Once again it's on par with my $30 Tasco glass wise, while the $150 Nikon Prostaff blew it out of the water, as well as the Burris FFII that was $200 with a Garmin GPS that blew both the Prostaff and the Leupold out of the water when it comes to clarity.
Oh my goodness, this is getting better by the min. Now you have owned a Vari-X IIc. Don't forget your imaginary 6500.
