I hunted with a VarX II for years on my 270win. I bought a new rifle this year a 270wsm as I gave my 270 to my nephew. I put a Zeiss Conquest on it which is compareable to a VariX III if not better and it is certainly better than I had before. I got a good price at Outdoorsmen in Arizona no tax no shipping and they are a registerd dealer for Zeiss products.
