I was talking to a sales rep at Cabelas about the same thing. He said the new model has a different powder coating so it's less reflective. Also said that the lenses are better at holding light enabling the sight picture to be clearer at dusk. So supposedly it's less shiny, and clearer at deer thirty

I`m not too sure about that. think I`ll take a look at their site

Powder coat may have been the wrong word. He was just meaning the black coating on the scope was less reflective

Another thing I always liked the Heavy Duplex reticle but the only way to get it in the scope I want is to order from the custom shop. You would think that is one of the more popular reticles for hunting. Never have understood why they never offered heavies in the 2.5-8. I sent mine back and had them installed. Once ya go with heavies you can never go back.

I've compared both side by side can't tell any optical difference in low-light. I don't think quality has decreased either.

I've had the varix-3 with heavy duplex for close to 20 years and have always loved them, especially low light, but on long shots 300 yards or more they tend top cover up the deer on 10x. Good lawd , you shootin' rabbits or deer? Heavies are thick but not that thick.

Good lawd , you shootin' rabbits or deer? Heavies are thick but not that thick. Mine is. I shot a buck at 300 yards and the crosshairs covered up his vitals. Fine cross hairs are better for long range shooting.
