My only complaint is that the magnification knob is a bit stiff. Sure, you can spend twice as much money and get a little bit nicer scope. But to call the vx-ii "junk" is like calling a Corvette junk because it isn't a Ferrari. In short, your statement is preposterous.
I tend to agree with you. I like Leupold scopes but feel you can buy more scope for the same money from other scope companies. I have an older Vari-X ii, 3-9x40 that I use on a bolt action 308 Winchester. Scope works great and does all I need it to. However, when I compare it to my Zeiss Conquest the difference is quite noticeable, especially at dawn and dusk.
