[QUOTE="MTbackwoods, post: 1959179, member: 113441"] So I bought one of these scopes a few weeks ago. Almost immediately I recognized tracking issues. So I got in contact with Vortex and sent it back. The technician confirmed there were issues and they decided to send me a new scope. Some might get excited by that. I was not. I figured the new scope could have the same issues. But I tried to stay positive and awaited it’s arrival. After it showed up, I mounted it up proper, again, and took it out. IMMEDIATELY noticed tracking issues again. Bear in mind that my load is proven. And I do mean proven. I’ll attach a picture that has the order of shots numbered and the correction I put on the scope written next to it. Some were single shots some were groups. The group numbered 5 was shot when my patience had run completely out which should explain its size. All I can say at this point is this: if you are considering one of these scopes, maybe consider something else. I’m quite close to exchanging this one for a Crimson Trace CSA 2. It’s a very similar scope for roughly the same price. Perhaps it’ll perform better. As of right now I’m waiting to hear back from Vortex again and see what they are willing to do. If it’s yet another new scope, I quit [/QUOTE]
