    LongRange can tell you how I fell about the color of the vortex. Scopes should be black. How do match that **** color on them. Lol

    The new Razor AMG comes in black there Batman.... all kidding aside it's hard to beat the Razor Gen II or AMG for the money and surprisingly the Razor color looks good with just about anything.

    So for that price, I think you are a little under budget for the max power you want in a variable.
    IMO, you need to be above the $2500 mark to get optics that aren't goofy at that max power range. Otherwise what I've seen is that you amplify a bad sight picture.

    My two absolute favorites are:
    -Weaver Tactical 3-15x mil/mil FFP Model# 800363. That specific scope is roughly a $700 scope and has remarkably good glass, and locking turrets. Also has a very large adjustment range, roughly 32 mils travel.

    - Primary Arms 4-14x FFP Mil/Mil. This one has everything except the zero stop and power. The trick with this one is that it is the current world leader in the "Sleeper" class. It will cost you $230 roughly. We did a sideXside comparison to a the SWFA 3-15HD. It flat embarrased the SWFA in glass quality. Target acquisition to a mile is very easily better, without any hesitation. It isn't as... bright, as the SWFA, but I'll take being able to see my target over that any day. Also has ballanced windage & elevation amounts at around 34 mils. So far it has lasted a nasty(funny) tumble strapped to a 4-wheeler and several trips to AZ on the floorboards. Dials repeatably in my tests, and has over 1,000 rounds of Creed/308 on my oldest one.

    Optics in a large way come down to personal preference. As an example, C.A. Many don't notice Chromatic Abberation, or know what it is. Same with being bright, Vs. Clear. This last one ALWAYS gets confused. if you have a dimmer scope, but can accurately see colors or pick-out targets better. The one that you can't do that with, but looks really "Bright" will always get chosen.
    I'm a firm believer in the theory that if it bleeds, I can kill it.

    You could take a look at Burris II 5x25x50. It has FFP. I have used mine for over7 months now and I do like it. Been going for around $1,150 up to $1,250.
