Thanks F3, maybe Castle is decent. I just think that at this point, it's a hopeless cause... as you say, this guy won't even look at the Leupold link I provided. Here is the exact Leupold website quote I provided, isn't this self-explanatory?
The Leupold Answer Guide
What are the improvements in VX-II over Vari-X II scopes?
VX-II scopes feature precise 1/4 MOA click adjustments and high performance Multicoat 4 lens coating on the eyepiece and objective lens. The old Vari-X II scopes offered neither of these features.Well, after several patient and polite e-mails on my part, I pretty much had no choice but to leave negative feedback on eBay and maybe even file a Paypal claim. I know the facts are on my side so I'm not doubting I'll have the claim found in my favor, but I've heard eBay & Paypal "claims" are pretty toothless. Get this, the seller's retort to my negative feedback post was to
AGAIN insist the Vari-XII and the VX-II are the same exact scope and that I'm basically an idiot for believing otherwise.
Well, I guess all the people at Leupold are idiots too for claiming they're different. I guess you just can't win with some people.
