I have never had one minutes trouble with any of the Elite series of scopes I have owned. I also live Leupold very much. I own a couple of Leupold VX3 scopes and they are even better (by a small margin) than the Elites. The VX1 is not the same as the VX3 scope.
A place on Little River in McCurtain County, Oklahoma, is the lowest elevation of the state, rising to only 298 feet above sea level.
In the north central part of Oklahoma, extending south from the Kansas border to the Red River, is the Sandstone Hills Region. The Sandstone Hills are from 250 to 400 feet high. Some are covered with Blackjack and Post Oak forests. It was in this region that early oil development commenced in Oklahoma. The Arbuckle Mountains comprise an area of about 1,000 square miles in south-central Oklahoma. The low mountains rise about 600 to 700 feet above the plains.
