[QUOTE="Senderofan, post: 1099700, member: 13831"] So what model of Vortex did you look through? How many different ones have you looked through? It seems like a very broad statement to condemn a company because you've looked through a couple at the range. Every brand will have budget or entry level scopes....and yes...they will not be the clearest etc. But you generally get what you pay for. I own a Viper 6.5-20X by 50mm....which I would consider to be their entry level scope. This scope has performed flawlessly in terms of repeatability. It also has decent optics....for the $280 I paid for it new. I also have the PST FFP 6-24X. I consider this to be a mid level scope. The turrets are extremely nice....much nicer than I would have anticipated. The glass is noticeably better than the viper.....probably just a tick below a Sightron S III. But the PST has great features like a zero stop, very positive clicking...exposed turrets and lighted reticle. Stepping up to their Razor line....Vortex competes very favorably to any top tier manufacturer...especially in their price range. Guess I could say stay away from Bushnell because I had a 4200 Elite 6-24X that had turrets that didn't repeat, a very unforgiving eye box and the optics weren't especially clear. I sent it back to Bushnell to have then work on the turrets....they sat on it for a while and sent it back without any explanation of what they did and it still didn't function properly. But I realize that Bushnell makes so many other lines of scopes...that I wouldn't pass judgement on the entire company based on one scope that I had owned. Wayne [/QUOTE]
