[QUOTE="RonS, post: 1054324, member: 68613"] I have both. I run Leupold's and Weavers on hunting/plinking rifles and Vortex on my F-Class rifles. The exception being one Leupold benchrest scope I run on a .22 because it focuses so close. I've never had a problem with either brand. I like the Vortex for the F Class rifles because the turrets are perfect for dialing in the minutes I need as I move from 300 to 1000 yards and the tracking is perfect on the Votex PST 6x24's I run. I run only second focal plane on those scopes as the FFP's obscure too much of the target at full power and I generally run them at full power so the MOA reticles are very useful. The only time I turn the power down is when the mirage gets really bad but one thing I'd like is more power for those days when it is usable. I wish them made them in 32 or 50 power. As far as brightness, it's a simple matter of objective size and power. The exit pupil diameter (brightness) is good on both when power is at the same level and the objectives are the same size. The eye relief on both is good. Both have good glass with quality coatings. Both have etched reticles. Neither can match a Schmidt & Bender or a March or an IOR Valdata or even a Nightforce. You get what you pay for in optics and for the price and the applications I put them to I'm fine with both. The Sightrons are also very good. A couple of people I shoot F class with just went to the 10-50 60 SIII's. I may need to get one later this year. [/QUOTE]
