VxI is not a great scope.

I had a Nikon Buckmaster on a 270 for years. Killed a lot of deer with it. It held zero. THat's about all I can say favorable about it.

Worked a round up for a friend this year who had a Bushnell on his 270wsm. I have nothing bad to say about it in the 50 or so rounds I put through it. He got rid of it and got a Trijicon.

I just don't get the "all you'll need in La" argument. Are people trying to say that 300-500 yd shots just don't exist in La? Does the sun not rise and set in La? Scopes don't fog in La? Lens glare not a problem? Rifles don't recoil as hard? Seriously, WTF does that statement mean?

I want a scope that has longevity, but I don't want to buy a name/insignia/brand without a performance advantage.

I am most concerned with low-light and zero. If the more expensive brands deliver these qualities...then I am all aboard.

I am concerned about dropping $1,400 on a scope and some guy whips out the Nikon Monarch and gathers more light than me.

Straining to determine rack size in twilight is what drove me to a high $ Zeiss.
