Free: Contests & Raffles.
Thanks everyone for your input. I don't require the best is light transmission, or the best in clarity. Rather I want a scope that can withstand a few drops, some dirt, some debris, holds a zero and provides mid range light / clarity. I realize light / clarity are subjective judgments.The Redfield works fine on my Browning; I just thought about putting that on the Axis and upgrading to a VX-II. I do not doubt that a VX-II is better is some respects than say the Vortex or Nikon mid-range models ($150-200 models). I just question whether it is worth double the $ when taking a 100-200 yd shot.
Vortex diamondback is a good scope for the price.
