[QUOTE="30calyooper, post: 2067434, member: 107258"] Had poor luck with the Vortex scopes holding up to recoil. 300 RUM wrecked a VIPER. Then both a 30-06 and a 270 Win broke Diamondbacks. Have not owned a Vortex scope since. No complaints about their binos or monoculars. Good stuff! As pointed out by others, the Nikons scopes are good glass. But now that Nikon Corp. caved in to the anti-hunting crowd and stopped making scopes, I wonder what their "LIFETIME WARRANTY" is good for? In the past they were great to work with but who knows now... Some have implied that the Leupolds are overpriced. Hard to say that now that they are bringing back DiamondCoat in the VX-3i line... and of course the VX-5HD and VX-6HD are fairly competitive price-wise with similar high end scope lines. I would not bother spending money on their VX Freedom line though...these are not anywhere near the quality of their higher lines. Just my opinions... [/QUOTE]
