About a year ago I was looking into getting a Vortex Diamondback scope for one of my hunting rifles. I read very good reviews on them and heard they have a very nice warranty program. My question is, I noticed recently that the Vortex prices have dropped a good bit. Usually when I see this happen its because companies are trying to burn off inventory or closeout items. Has the love affair people had with Vortex fallen off? Are they having quality issues that are hurting them making them drop their prices? I'm just concerned here since I am in the market for a new scope and I don't want to waste my time on a Vortex if they are having issues. As comparisons go I am looking at either the Vortex Diamondback 3-9x40, Burris Fullfield II in 3-9x40, and Leupold VX-1 3-9x40. Recently someone on this site recommended a Redfield Revolution to me also, so that could be in the mix as well.
