Welcome to Vortex ownership. You will get to be good friends with the warranty people over there until you finally tire of trying to get their crap scopes to work. Good luck.
LOL , that's all I ever hear about is that warranty ?
Warranties are worthless in a match or on a hunt. Cheap scopes on a rifle are like cheap tires on a race car.

I've have two Vortex Vipers on my two F/TR rifles, for 2 years now. One is the exact scope the OP speaks of, mounted on my .308.
They're both still spot on. If I make a 1 MOA adjustment, my POI moves 1 MOA....every time.
Even a Nightforce can break.
Blaspheme!Quote:

Vortex may be half the cost of a Nightforce but they will give you four times as much trouble. I have owned five vortex scopes at varying levels of supposed quality so I have given them a fair shake and I can fairly say I will never own another one.
This scene from Tommy Boy pretty much says it best about Vortex warranty.

In your situation, I would do the same. My situation is vastly different.Quote:

I think that's what YMMV means.

Neither are cheap. My bushnell tacticals are the same price as a vortex pst but a better scope all around.

Ford vs chevy: Ford
9mm vs 45acp: 45acp
Rem vs Sav: Savage
Bushnell elite tactical vs any other sub 1K: Bushnell
As far as scopes under one thousand dollars, for me it would be Sightron SIII
Dean
Well at least you got the 9 vs 45 and the Rem vs Savage arguments right ;). Never had a Bush TAC Elite so can't pass judgment there.Quote:

The ford vs chevy.......should be clarified...........they both quit making trucks I would want in 1979.
Sightron sIII would be my runner up in the sub 1K but I think the bushnell is tougher.
Epic! :pQuote:

the only semi valid reason, as there is no other comparisons to be made. I also owned a 79 jeep c j 7, another rust bucket
and absolute junk compared to my 06 Rubicon in any way you care to compare. As for Vortex i agree it is unequaled,
as for being the worst scope ive seen for our type use. But then to be fair ive never even tried many of them.
For reasons unknown all my chevy and jeeps have bean prone to rust were my fords have weathered much better, design?,Luck?
I do not think the vortex is unequalled above $500.
In fact I think because they are feature rich they are a little over rated. So many folks like bells and whistles more than anything.
Any scope can fail. I saw a high dollar, less than a year old Leupold BR scope fail in the middle of a 1000y match. Fortunately the old shooter had a vintage Weaver T-36 in his truck to finish the match with.
