[QUOTE="Prairie605, post: 1224223, member: 93833"] I know this is an old post, but felt the need to update. The original scope I posted about( Vortex viper 4x18 ) I believe, went bad the second time we went to the range. It was replaced on the spot at scheels the day we discovered it was defective. My buddy upgraded to the 6x24 viper vortex for a little extra money. We mounted the new scope and zeroed a few days later. The very next time out the second scope went south. I've spend 3 months trying to find a load for this rifle and all the time it was a bad second scope. This was 2 bad scopes in a row. Both were 700-900 dollars. I would expect much more quality for this price. At one time I was considering buying one of these scopes, especially with their 40% veteran discount. But at this point my opinion of vortex is they are pure junk. I know many thousands of people swear by them, but I for one will never buy one. I can't fathom putting one of these on my rifle with a $650 elk tag in my pocket and being in Colorado or wherever and it break. I've owned many Leupold's over the years and never have I had a bit of trouble with them. Vortex may have excellent customer service, but I truly believe that's because they get a lot of practice.
