[QUOTE="Gone Ballistic, post: 486521, member: 26477"] Sako7STW, I appreciate your opinion, however biased it is. Lots of folks have brand preference that they swear by and anything else to them is not going to pass the mustard. I wouldn't have even considered purchasing the Vortex if I hadn't been perusing optics reviews online for several months prior to my purchase. And you're wrong about resale of any used optic. I sold two scopes on eBay that were in superb shape (one Nikon and one Swarofski) and lost considerable amounts of dollars on both. Actually lost less in percentage on the Nikon, how about that! Sure surprised me. I really don't give much of a **** whether my buddy sells his scope and buys one like mine or not. I'd prefer he didn't as this way we can let other people look through both of them and judge. Personally, I can't notice a lick of difference with one exception. If you wear progressive lens glasses the Swarofski allows more eye relief. I can tell you that I compared them to Zeis, Nikon and Leupold and found them far superior. Have you ever looked through one? Personally, the person that I was originally responding to in this thread wasn't wanting to spend the money for your Konus, Swarfski, etc. and I was suggesting something I found that works exceptionally well, if not better that most,lightbulb without breaking the bank. Oh, I also forgot to add to my reply to the initiater of this thread, I purchased my Vortex Razor in the angled style. After getting used to it I like it far more than the straight tube. It's a lot easier for others to look through after you have it set on something as well. [/QUOTE]
