I have 5 no issues with any of them , none have gone back all hold zero on , 308, 30-06 , 12ga , 300blk ,223
look at them side by side and see if you can tell the clarity
sighting them in they seem to track fine.
4 are 2-7x32 and one a 3-9x50
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

I would spend the extra hundred for the leupold. Hundred bucks isnt much when you consider how long it will last and because it's made in the USA.

Leupold is "machined and assembled" in USA. Probably not from China like the vortex, though.

Going on my son's AR. I shot a Known Distance apple seed out to 500 with the 3-9x50 on an AR , they are really good to 200-250 a step up in glass will make a difference past 300 they are a good budget scope , you could find a bad one , but Vortex will make it right and replace it , I have used the warranty just not on any of the crossfires so far none of them are super old , I started getting them around 2016

The Vortex warranty is pretty hard to beat. This^^^ Can't beat the Vortex warranty. I have the Crossfire on my AR. But it's new....so no experience with it yet.

Vortex? Never heard of her. Leupold, they make scopes. Had one vortex that was enough. Couldn’t give me a vortex an make me keep it. Send me your bad Vortex.

The issue which I have had with Vortex scopes vs Leupold is that there is little forgiveness for eye relief in the Vortex scopes. You need to be dead nuts on eye placement for full view. Leupolds are much more forgiving in that respect. I was using I high end Vortex which did not hold zero when you changes power from 10 to 18. It hit 2 inches higher at the highest magnification. Do they all do that? I don't know. Yes...POI changes with zoom.

4 are 2-7x32 and one a 3-9x50 I have a couple more than GCP, but I have the same opinion of them as him.
