As it turns out, It's not 2MOA, I'm simply confused.
Let's see if this makes sense to any of you veteran rifle folks out there....
It is a Leupold Vari xii c. I don't know how I confused it but I did. That's neither here nor there as the deal is done now, and I have to live with my purchase (unless it's defective). The turrets are labelled with the MOA adjustments in 1/2 MOA increments, but they don't "click" they have a smooth but firm travel. The glass is very crisp, much clearer than the one I have on my rifle now, and the eye relief is more forgiving so as long as it holds zero and can be adjusted............
This is what confused me
What you have is a friction-adjusted erector set in that baby. It is a perfectly fine scope for a hunting rifle. Set that bad boy to shoot 1.5" high at 100, and just aim in the brown for deer.
That said, friction adjusted scopes without actual clicks are not usually desirable for target shooting (or, if you swing that way, "tactical" rifle shooting) as it is difficult to actually move your point of impact precisely, and, even if you can, you have to break position to "read" the markings on the knobs. Good target knobs give you tactile clicks, so, say you are shooting your buddy's .243 at the range and the scope is 16" low and 7" left on the first shot, you just go up 64 clicks (.25 MOA clicks, half that for .5 MOA clicks), 28 clicks right, and BANG!!! your ass is in the black. You can even count to yourself like this: ONE-2-3-4-Two-2-3-4-THREE-2-3-4-FOUR-2-3-4...... with the spelled out numbers being a MOA, so you don't screw it up. With friction, if you forget, you're f*&ked.
