[QUOTE="Bulseyetom, post: 298607, member: 14766"] I went to the range yesterday and shot my 270 Weatherby with a newly acquired Mark 4 3.5x10 M3 and also a 25-06 with a newly acquired VX-II 4x12-50. What a difference in quality. I actually thought the 10x magnification of the Mark 4 made the bull look better at 100 yards than the VX-II did at 12! This lead me to believe that I need to upgrade one more of my accurate rifles to a better scope although there is nothing wrong with the VX-II for hunting deer which is why I bought it. My first question is: Are the optics identical between the Mark 4 and the new VX-3, just the inards of the Mark 4 making it more bomb proof? My second question, which could be another thread and probably should be, is that when I adjusted parralax at 100 yards with the Mark 4 so that there was no apparent movement of the reticle, the target was somewhat fuzzy. When I adjusted to get a perfectly clear target, there was parralax. What gives? Thanks for any suggestions. Tom [/QUOTE]
