[quote=GREENCOUNTYPETE]I like my 4-12 Vortex Diamondback , 6-24 seems like a lot of magnification , how far do you plan to shoot , you know 308 drops sub sonic just past 1100 yards good mid grade scope excellent warranty , trust me they have people abuse the warranty and they keep offering it my son was talking with some guys that air soft and they put vortex on their air soft so that when they break it running into trees and such running around the woods they get them replaced Guess thats a good review

I have a Vortex 4-16x44 ( I think that is power I have not shot it in a year ) on Ruger American 7.62x39 bolt gun. I think I paid 239.00 on sale. I have been happy with it but it is a 200 yard gun I use in brush or on edge of woods. I think just depends on your application. I also have a Sightron lll 10-50x60 on a 6.5 creedmoor I use for all kinds of hunting. Why….. I don’t have to have a pair of binoculars hanging around my neck. Ha ha. MD

No fan here, high end Nikon or Burris are way better and in the same price range Nikon got out of the Gun optics game in 2019 they are no more

Have you looked at the Venom? I think they're around $499. More features and better glass to my eyes.

I shot with that very same scope recently mounted on a very accurate 243. I sighted in at 100 yards with the objective set at 100 yards and with the power set at 12. Three shot group, sub-minute, in the bullseye. I then cranked it up to 24 power, and shot another tight group, but at 1.25 above the bullseye. No sale. Off it came. The phrase, "You get what you pay for," is the gospel when it comes to scopes. I had a Nikon that was like this. It would be Off 3 inches at 25 yards by adjusting the zoom. 3-9 though.
If it makes a track on this earth , I can catch it.

I have several of them in the Viper line. And Vortex is just like any other company. The higher end lines are higher quality. Get what you can afford and you will be happy with them. I can tell you that March 2nd I lost my house to a fire. Safes did their job as far as severe heat and damage but soot covered everything in them. Vortex sent me boxes and shipping labels for them at no charge and said that they would inspect and repair or replace. I'll be honest I was a little skeptical. They inspected all of them and determined that most could be cleaned up and were fine. Others, the soot deteriorated the lens coatings or had the nitrogen seals purged from the heat. They replaced all that could not be repaired at no cost. And they have been great to deal with. Meopta and Zeiss same story and beleive it or not Nikon too. But figure this, I had one Night Force on a bench gun and they are not as user friendly by a long shot. Anyway, all scope manufactures have grades, lines, series or whatever they call them for a reason. To be able to market to more people. As price goes up so does quality and in some cases warranties. And don't short yourself on rings and bases either. Bad foundation = bad structure.
