[QUOTE="SidecarFlip, post: 640256, member: 39764"] I'm going to acquire a ML yet this summer for fall hunting here. We have DMU restrictions locally that prohibit center fire rifles, Handgun, bow and shotgun and ML only. I'm leaning toward a Vortex Viper HS in lower magnification for the ML. Can't offer any suggestions for the AR platform. They have never interested me. I put a Viper PST 4.5 x 16 on my .338. I still have a Mark4 on the .223 and a VX2 on my Volquartsen custom built 22 target. If Vortex offered an unlimited eye releif 4-6 I'd buy one for my handgun. They don't. I believe that the problem with the Vortex line at present is manufacturing capability versus sales. They have to be one of the very few manufacturers that actually have a back log. Just amazing in this economy. The higher end Vortex scopes are assembled in the Philippines and I was told (so it's not factual), that they use LOW glass. The lower priced scopes are chi-com. My PST is plainly marked on the base of the erector housing 'assembled in the Philippines'. Of course the very best glass in the world comes from right here, in upstate New York but mortal men (or women) can't afford it. Bottom line here is it's never going to be a Schmidt and Bender or a Swaro but then the price isn't either. Actually, considering the price point, all the Vortex line is a fantastic value. As far as guarantee goes, Vortex is a reflection of all the major players. Lifetime replacement no matter if the original owner still owns the scope or not ....and no, I don't work for them.:) [/QUOTE]
