    Favorite General Hunting Scope Magnification Range

    Sorry if the older folks who were around when they transitioned over got it but you didn't.
    Oh I'm quite aware of what the Vari-X scopes were, and how they transitioned over to the VX. I have several, some I've had for over 35 yrs. I like them because they are very good scopes. However as I stated before, there has never been a Vari-X III or VX-III or VX-3 to exist in a 3-9x40mm, and therefore you can not claim something is the standard by which most hunting scopes are compared to, if said scope doesn't even/never has existed.

    If you want people to understand fully what you are saying, you should say it correctly. Something like "The Vari-X/VX line of scopes by Leupold are very good, and in my opinion the basis at which modern hunting scopes are compared to and have been for decades."

    Nobody likes an anal retentive jerk either, yet here you are. Anyone with half a brain knew what he was referring to with his post.

    Nope, definitely not anal retentive, it just makes sense to be clerical when you speak.
