I bought a used Scopechief IV 3x9.This was a comparable model to Leupold VariX III series . I paid too much for it, BTW. It had issues with a wandering POI. I sent it in a couple of times . Second time it came back OK. I put it on my canoe rifle.But the crosshairs came loose when it bounced along on the bottom of the river. I had another scope along. Always, Always either pack two rifles or a spare scope. My hunting partner gave up using Leupolds just to avoid that. This time they sent a ScopeChief IV 4x32 back. This model was far and away the best 4x scope of that period, mid '80s. I came out ahead, by quite a bit I might add. I had been hoping for just an ordinary Legend 3x9
Outside of that Scopechief 3x9, I've had better luck with Bushnells than Leupolds.
