[QUOTE="Ronald W Schaefer, post: 1935346, member: 109378"] I Love Vortex, I have four Viper Vortex 4-16 X 44 HS-T on Sako 85, Wby MkV, Fierce and Wby Camilla rifles and one 2X7 on an old vintage 1894 .30-30 Win. Great glass and great scopes. I also have a 60X spotting scope (Diamondback) that is the best spotting scope I've ever looked through...so there is that... the wife got if for Christmas and paid extra for a really solid bench tripod, Vanguard, Mars 1OS--IMO that really makes a difference. I have Zeiss, Leopold, Kahles glass on several of the gun safe line up and have shot through the NF and Swarovski…I think for hunting, Vortex is a solid bang for your buck. They are well built but not too bulky and pretty light weight (20oz) and quite suitable for long range if you get 'em set up for it. I love the very positive "clicks" on the turrets. I figure out the ballistics and send my data to Kenton Industries for their custom drop in turrets and so far they have tracked really well and been pretty close to "math" first try. Of course you have to proof shoot all scopes with custom turrets at range to ensure they hit where you're dialing. Oh yeah, despite all that magic, you do have to remember to set your turrets for the range your shooting; ask me how I know that:-)! Luckily, I got that Eland the next day... [/QUOTE]
