[QUOTE="Hand Skills, post: 1651771, member: 103303"] Vortex has manufacturers all over the place, it really depends on the product. QC is pretty spotty on the lower end stuff (if it exists at all?) but the Razor lines are well done. I was reluctant to get my feet wet, but I felt the warranty made it very low risk. Good warranty and customer support help the products hold their value. I tried a rangefinder at first and wasn't very impressed with it. The Ranger 1000 I had struggled ranging objects beyond ~400yd and was of no optical benefit to the naked eye (even though it offered 7x zoom). I did a couple of fencing projects and cursed it through one hunting season. Sold it for a small loss and got a Leica 1600 which is leagues ahead, ranging objects past 1000yd and so good optically that when it's in my pocket I have no need for compact binoculars. Found a good deal on a Razor LH 3-15x42 and quite like the scope - lightweight, good optics and mechanics. Passes the tall target both dialing and holding over. Holds zero from +40 to -40C. The turrets match the reticle. Colour rendering is not the best and it chromatic aberration is pretty severe when not dead centre in the eyebox. Resolution is very good though. Thought about a 6-24x50 AMG (American Manufactured), but currently saving for a March 3-24x52. [/QUOTE]
