Great optic

Once you pick up this scope you know it is as tough as nails.

Great clarity, contrast and forgiving eye box that is easy to get behind at 18x. Optical quality is on par with my US Optics and March scope (almost)

Turrets take some getting used to. Very crisp and audible clicks but they are stiff. Little more effort to dial in a dope change compared to my Marcj scope.

If weight is a concern, this isn't the scope you want but speaks to its solid construction.

Would buy again without hesitation.Read full review

Over hyped, over priced /update//10/11/17

Wow am I surprised at how mediocre this scope is. On 1x it's like looking through a fish bowl with distortion all around the perimeter. The zoom ring is so stiff it cannot be adjusted from a shooting position. Definitely will need an extension lever to operate. Yes the glass is clear but it is not clear enough to put this optic in the +$1000 range .no way no how. This is about $400 of clarity to put it in perspective. The illuminated dot knob is hard to rotate also and the knob is way too large to speed through the 22 presets, yes 22 because there is an off position between each brightness of 1-11. if you are used to an aim point knob and adjustment you are going to be very disappointed. Imagine a 4" wheel on a basic combination lock, that's a lot of turning to get one revolution, same applies here. The dot is daylight or "aimpoint" bright, and is the highlight of this scope,but it is distorted at higher settings and transfers some of the light to the cross hairs unevenly which is extremely distracting. The scope definitely built like a tank I'll give it that. In my opinion the clarity of the glass and some of its other let downs puts this optic in the $400 range MAX, I am by no means a glass snob but this thing is definitely not what is hyped up to be.
Oh, and a scope in this price range should come with a dust cap over the lenses for shipping. I really regret this purchase. Update 4/11/17
After zeroing and putting some rounds through (mounted to a 20" HBAR .556). This optic gets one star. All these 5 star raving reviews have got to be fake. Almost need a pipe wrench to manipulate the zoom knob. This is one big polished bronze turd. Side by side comparison, a nikon prostaff is a lot clearer than the razor. Yup, $100 rim fire scope has better clarity. I removed the vortex and ordered a leupold. Do yourself a favor and physically look through the vortex at a local dealer before you buy. No I am not affiliated with any manufacturers or dealers, just a regular shooter who hates vortex. Read full review

Great Scope

I have a NF nxs and this Vortex outshines it in every way for me. Not at all bashing the NF as it is also a great scope, but this scope seems to have a little better glass and I love that it's a FFP reticle. Read full review
