[QUOTE="aushunter1, post: 1653579, member: 57533"] I just got my 1st Vortex which is a Strike Eagle 1-8X25 for my 300wsm. Im usually a Leupold or Sightron man but for this rifle didn't want to spring $1000 for a similar product It was $500AU so I don't expect the glass in it to be as good as a $1000 Leupold BUT I do expect it to track well & not fall apart. Not sure if I am expecting to much but time will tell! I did load development on the same rifle with a Sightron S1 4-12x40 AO which is an even cheaper scope & held up very well to the recoil. I think a lot of the time we tend to underrate a lot of cheaper scopes & they do generally compete well with scopes of double the cost. I think Vortex has reasonably good reputation for a cheaper end manufacturer as does Sightron. It does help knowing when buying one that it had a lifetime warranty just in case something does go wrong! If this Vortex ends up being as equal as the Sightrons I have had then I will be a happy camper. [/QUOTE]
