Really? Exactly what part of them is crap? I have a couple of them and for a hunting scope they are a really good peice of equipment for the money. They are the exact same scope as the Vari-X II, just renamed the VXI, that was concidered a great scope a few years back. Back when the Vari-X II was made it was the scope to have and was the scope everbody judged scopes by, matter of fact it was probably Leupolds most popular and sucsessful scope, they changed the name and now its a piece of crap? Now the Rifleman by Leupold is a defferent story, they are not worth wasting your time or money with. I have had nothing but great luck out of my VXI's, better than ANY Nikon I have ever owned. Another post I read, a poster claimed the VXII has only 88% light transmition, LMAO!! Where do you guys come up with this crap? It has 94%.
