[QUOTE="cummins cowboy, post: 468306, member: 28348"] a couple observations I have about vortex, for one they are a company that has pretty much burst upon the scene. who owns the company, what was their back ground, did they work for another optics company?? the other thing is it appears that vortex doesn't actually make anything but rather just tells overseas optics companies what they want made and then they make it. a relative of mine owns a headphone business and this is all they do. what this means is the overseas company tries to make what the US company wants but it doesn't always come out EXACTLY as planned. a buddy of mine bought a vortex skyline spotting scope, the glass looks very good but the outer construction seems kinda chinese. vortex has been very very good at marketing their products but really all they appear to be to me is a marketing company, does this mean their products aren't any good, no, but does it mean everything they make will be perfect I say NO. the point I am making is are you spending your hard earned money with a marketing company that just rebrands products or are you dealing with a company that ACTUALLY makes the products and builds them. that is what made me hesitant to plunk my money down on vortex products.
