I became a big fan of vortex when the new razors came out. Now I have been picking up some of their more affordable optics as well.

The StrikeEagle is going on my AR10 light weight elk gun build, should be just under 9lbs if my math is correct

Vortex is OUTSTANDING.
I have been using their red dots for years, one of very few companies without that blue/green tint on their 30mm tubes. Clarity is amazing, very reliable. Battery life has been stellar, I'm on 4 years of heavy usage without replacement in all of my Strikefires. Their warranty and service is top notch as well. They actually respond to inquiries and answer phones. I bashed one optic, they apologized as if it was their fault for not engineering it better(believe me, it was my screw-up). From the time I sent mine to the time I received a NEW replacement was less than 7 days. I even had one of the original Strikefires, it had the power switch mode: Red Green Off. The newer ones all have Red/Green/Red/Green(hold for off). I mentioned I liked the newer style better as there is less risk of accidental powering off. They replaced that optic too. I can't say enough good things about them. |

I just picked up a Sparc II. Like it so far. It's not really more affordable because it's so fun to shoot I'm making up the difference from higher end optics by going through more ammo

Yep, super stand up company. Sent a bunch of optics to our local precision rifle club for folks to test drive and then offered sick discounts for anyone wanting to make a purchase.

I love the Vortex warranty. My GF dropped my rifle with a 4-16 hst mounted and smashed in the top turret and it completely locked up. I sent it off to Vortex and they fixed it and shipped it right back in less than a week. I always think of Vortex when looking for new optics and recommend them to all my shooting buddies.

I own 2 vortex red dots and plan on getting some more vortex optics. Price point from what I’ve seen is amazing for the quality. The warranty is good to. I won’t replace my Nikon or Leupold, but I will be getting more vortex for sure.

Hmm.... I just put a strikefire II on the Tavor just cause it was on sale at Gander and I had a discount card that made it really really inexpensive which was good since I was basically broke from buying the Tavor..... and needed a inexpensive optic till I could replenish the discretionary fund and buy something better but now it looks like I may leave it on there....

Best possible optics for the money. I'll be buying more Vipers in the future, and their $200+ scopes blow away everything in the same price range. I'll always recommend them to anyone on a budget.

Well while I absolutely love my vortex scopes .... I will have to say the PA 4-14x44 FFP line of scopes is pretty incredible for the money .... especially the HUD ACSS version So I wouldn't say that their $200+ scopes blow everything away but most yes |

Nothing but love here. They donated a Viper PST as a raffle prize at Boomershoot, and I won it. It replaced a very bright 15 year old Burris black diamond. I like it so much I bought another one for a different rifle.
I'm considering a pair of vortex bino's. Anybody got a recommendation on which model? Something for deer/elk/varmint hunting, say 8-ish power and 40-ish mm objectives. I haven't pored through their catalog yet. |

I bought a Strikefire to put on a 22 and found it to be such good quality I bought another and put it on an AR. I would say its on par with an Aimpoint for less than half the price, even less if you count the mount and magnifier which is included.

I handled one at the store, quality appeared to be excellent, nice heft to it. Good glass, nice sharp dot. The fact that it's produced by a stand-up company would seal the deal for me. |

I also own a Vortex monocular (x10) that I just took to Wyoming/Teton National Park/Yellowstone. It was great to have, crystal clear glass, and IMO, vastly more handy then binoculars. Great company with fantastic CS and products. |

This isn't the first complimentary thread/post I've read about them and I can't remember ever hearing any negatives. Something like the SPARC seems like it would be perfect for my needs. |

I don't own my StrikeFire anymore (sold it to fund another purchase), but I have nothing but good things to say about Vortex. I split the O-ring on the battery compartment cap when I first got it and Vortex sent me a new one immediately at no charge. No big deal, but it meant a lot that they didn't want to play 20 questions or wait weeks to send it out.
I'll be in the market for a quality scope soon and Vortex will be the first place I look. |
