8mm, you're right the Leupold's are great scopes. The Bushnell's are just a little less expensive. The Elite's start at about $189 compared to about $250 for the Leupolds. I know the Vari X II is cheaper...because it's being phased out...but they're slowly getting harder to find. Cabelas and several other mail-order places are sold out.

Around here the Vari-X II's are scarce...Better grab em up if you can still find em for under $200! (Shoulda bought a couple when I saw em for $170!)
