A buddy of mine asked me what the difference is between Vari-X II glass and Vari-X III glass. Can someone tell me? Is there a big noticeable difference in shooting up to 250 yards?

According to Leupold, <span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic">all</span></span> of the lenses of the Vari-X IIIs' were multi-coated, while only some of the lenses in the Vari-X IIs' were multi-coated (all of the lenses in the Vari-X IIs' were coated, but not all of them were coated with multiple coatings).
I've owned and still own several Vari-X IIIs' and Vari-X IIcs', and while the Vari-X IIc is an older design than the Vari-X III and there is a considerable difference in image quality between the Vari-X III and my Vari-X IIcs', the Vari-X IIc is still a very good hunting scope. This is from someone who ownes two of the ne plus ultra of tactical scopes (the PMII 5-25X[56mm] LP DT 0.1 MIL Gen 2 XR CCW).
