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.
Determining which state is lowest is equally problematic. California contains the Badwater Basin in Death Valley, at 279 feet (85 m) below sea level, the lowest point in the United States; while Florida has the lowest high point, and Delaware has the lowest mean elevation. Florida is also the flattest state, with the smallest difference between its highest and lowest points.
