    The original poster was looking through the equipment exchange and saw an advertisement for a person looking to purchase a Leupold M8 fixed 3 power scope.

    He was considering replying to the Ad, when he decided to wait until later that evening to compare the M8-3x with his newly purchased Vari-X III 1.5-5 power scope.

    He was astounded at the extra light collection and the longer eye relief that the fixed power scope offered, and quickly decided to keep the M8-3x rather than letting it go.

    He then requested a response from Korth Group as to the performance difference in his M8, not realizing that the simpler fixed power design has fewer lens elements, which leads to an increase in light transmission which translates to better low light performance, and just so happened to have a more forgiving eye box on top of that.

    Now just let me know if you need that Jive-to-nerd translated into english

    Looky - You are in for a "bonus" - there is a writer in Montana - John Barnsness - he seems to be much a more "critical thinker" than most. Unusual for an American writer, he is known for using and promoting cartridges such as 6.5x55, 7x57 and 9.3x62 - I have several of his books and have been reading his articles in Rifle and Handloader magazines for nearly 20 years. According to him, the M8-3x was one of the toughest scopes (for resisting recoil) that Leupold made, and the nice long body and comfortably long eye-box makes mounting on long actions like Enfields a breeze, giving it significant advantage for mounting, over Leupold's newer, shorter 2.5. I have one with Duplex reticle on my Husqvarna 649 in 9.3x62. Only improvement would be to find one with a Post and crosshair reticle.

    I was confused by 1.5x5. I have no idea what that x means. The number after the x usually means lens diameter but 5mm is a tiny lens, unless he meant 1.5-5.

    Edit, I see F22 straightened this out.

    The old M8 scopes are still pretty good. I have an old M8 12 power that is still excellent.
