Let me start by saying that in NO way am I an expert in optics. I do believe that most "Cheap" scopes are garbage and a dissapointment waiting to happen. I have had some "Cheap" scopes and some very expensive scopes ($1,000+), the VAST majority of the "Cheap" scopes have gone on to the happy hunting ground in the sky. However there are some very good "Value" optics out there. When I bought my first Redfield Revolution I wasn't expecting much, but was very pleasantly surprised at the quality for the dollar spent. IMO, if you would be well suited with a VX-II then the Revolution will not dissapoint you as they are very close in initial quality IMO. I use the term "Initial" because I have been using them for about a year and haven't really abused them yet. As of now, I would not hesitate to purchase another one.
