[QUOTE="knc1105, post: 366044, member: 23577"] I pulled off two New Leupold 3-9x50 Vari-x II's when I found two in the box illuminated 2.8-10x44 old style Aetecs from the Phillipines and the Leopolds are still in the box on a shelf in my reloading room. The old Aetecs gather alot more light and are clearer all the way to the edge with no distortion. Unless I change loads, I have never ever resighted in a old Aetec. If anybody has an old new one in the box, I will send the Leopolds to be checked at the factory and would gladly trade you even for the old Aetec. If you have a 3.8-12x44 Illuminated I will throw in a set of the HIGH DOLLAR Leopold alumina flip up scope covers ( $100 ) free. I guess that tells you what I think. The Intensity Optics are supposed to be made in the same plant with Weaver that the old Aetecs were. People don't usually talk about these because they search all the gun and Ebay sites trying to find one, and don't want the competition, I have 12 on the shelf waiting over the past 4-years so I'm O.K.
