I didn't spend your money on the Vari-X II, so it is of less interest. How about the VX6? :grin:
Who wants to spend some of my money? :)

Yeah, but since you're getting yours sooner, I thought sure you'd be generous toward your poor northern cousin and let him use yours until his own arrived. :mrgreen:

I think my wife may already beat me senseless with it. I will leave instructions that if she bludgeons me to a bloody pulp, to send it back for repair and then on to you.

Consequently, it is not at all certain that we will see the illuminated reticle here in Canada right away. However, it does look as if an August delivery is anticipated.

Leupold told me to expect them in the stores during the 1st week of August. What that means for online sales, I have no idea. Also no idea if that is going to be longer of a wait for you folk north of the border.

I never will begin to understand the technology transfer laws of the US? Despite having done Medical Device technology transfer for a living for 12 years, these laws are really arcane when it comes to anything having to do with military technology. Even when it has been on the market for several years, it takes forever to get it approved to export, even to Canada.

I've never understood the tight restrictions on scopes. It's not like they're THAT hard to obtain. How many companies IMPORT scopes to the US????

9-11 changed a lot of things. There had been tightening of restrictions under the Clinton administration, but the creation of Homeland Security changed a lot of things. I suppose I can understand such restrictions as those on powder, primers and ammunition, but brass, bullets, scopes, stocks and magazines have been a bit harder to figure out. It is not as if we can't get them, it is just a hassle without paying a middleman to broker the deal. Tom is correct that a large number of firms import assembled rifles, components and scopes into the USA.

If I was in your shoes I probably wouldn’t overthink it too much. All three you listed are solid and plenty of guys are killing deer every fall with scopes in that same class. For the kind of ranges you mentioned, a simple 3-9x or 3.5-10x with a 40mm objective is about as practical as it gets. Good glass and reliable tracking matter a lot more than squeezing out a little more magnification. This thread about who wants to spend some of my money got me thinking why not throw it at some online gambling for a change and see if you hit the jackpot? I've been hooked on slots lately with all those wild themes and big wins plus blackjack where strategy pays off against the house roulette spinning those numbers for crazy payouts poker nights with friends online and betting on games to keep the excitement going. Nothing beats the rush when that money multiplies. The trick is finding trustworthy spots and that's where I scored big by using this top resource for checking out all the licensed Belgian casinos safely. I mean this https://belgeenligne.casino/ site shows you the real deals with huge bonuses up to hundreds of euros plus free spins on slots live dealer games for roulette and blackjack fast secure payouts so you never worry.
