[QUOTE="SansSouci, post: 1247353, member: 84520"] Might be right. However, thw ages old Vari-X II 3x9x40 is still the gold standard of hunting scopes. It was perfect when it was introduced. Bells and whistles have not improved upon it. A 40 year-old Vari-X II 3x9x40 will shoot just as good as an "improved upon" VX-6 with more bells an whistles than one could ring and blow on a two-week safari. Like most things hunting, I go the KISS route. I don't need side focus, parallax, or singing scopes. I want a scope that holds zero and produces a near instant sight picture. This is just a guess: since the Leupold Vari-X II 3x0x40 was introduced, it has been the scope used to kill more North Americam big game than all others combined. I'm curious: how would you improve upon a Vari-X II 3x9x40? [/QUOTE]
