here is my 2 cents

The Leupold Rifleman is a complete waste of money. It really lacks the features for it's price. For the $200 you spend on Rifleman you could get a Burris Fullfield II, Bushnell Elite 3200 or a Simmons Aetec, which are all fully multi-coated.

If you are set on a Leupold, either spend that $200 on a used Vari-X II, or add about $80 to it & get a new VX-II
