Hey guys. What features make the VXIIIs so much more expensive than the VXII? Are they worth the extra money? Also, what can yall tell me about the Leupold Rifleman?

Better coatings, better light transmission. I am just a simple man myself and just need a scope to hunt with in legal shooting hours. The VX-1 suits my needs and is all I can afford anyway. The rifleman series seems to be a lot like the VX-1 series. According to the Leupold catalog the VX-1 might have a better coating and is ahead of the Rifleman in the catalog so I would assume it is better. If this is the case, I do not know why anyone would buy a rifleman since from what I have seen they are the same price.

Also, the new VX-III's have fast focus eyepiece and finger adjustable windage and elevation knobs.

The price difference between the VXIII and VXII is just as justified as it was between the older Vari-X III and Vari-X II. The IIIs are just noticeably superior to the IIs. The price difference is justified.
