Hey somebody has all my respect if he comes on here honestly and says, I mounted it, and the recticle fell, or it just won't hold zero. But everyone that does internet shopping and comparisons, you don't know.
I am used to friction adjustments on myold Vari X II's. Can't say they ever moved. I used these scope on guns that won't need adjusting, or guns I won't be shooting far and need clicks. I bought Vari X III's for these guns with target turrets.
Can't say they ever fell apart on me that would be a lie and they do hold zero and that is where it ends. Plenty of other scopes do the same and cost 1/2. Now if they want to charge a handsome price for their optics then they need to be on the same page with whom they are competing with.
