[QUOTE="Hugnot, post: 2083461, member: 115658"] I have 12, low to mid level Leupold scopes, all 2nd hand, some pawn shop specials. The oldest being a Vari XIII, suffix K, 2002, the newest being a VX3i. Not much difference in optical quality. These scopes are satisfactory for my casual shooting - if you miss a rodent there will usually be another one to shoot. I have had adjustment problems requiring Leupold to fix, like spring replacements, to enable shooting less than 5 foot groups. Imagine a rock-chuck barely visible in deep shade, blending in with like color rocks about 400 yards away. The Leupold's will work. Same for shooting mud & dust colored white panted steel against like colored backgrounds in dim light. I think many scopes look good in gun stores - nothing like use in the field under less than ideal conditions. I think I need a Leupold Mark3HD, 8-24X50, TMR, (priced right) real bad and I have one on my Midway wish list. Don't know how the lit up TMR would work on shady chucks. I just sent Leupold an email for info. I looked thru a Razor once & it was so good it felt like I was being drawn into the scope. [/QUOTE]
