Damned shame seeing American conservatives trying to knit-pick gun accessories and compare equal products from other countries when there's an American company with a pretty dang positive feed back spanning decades, and a lifetime warranty.
I've got one Nightforce and I got that before Leupold had any real Fclass or benchrest options. I've managed to break one of their scopes, and that was only because I had an aftermarket switchview attached and I came crashing down on that one little lever. Sent it in, they fixed what I broke, they gave me new glass because one lense had a scratch, they tightened up the exposed turrets because I asked if they could then they replaced the functioning electronics because they said water got in the scope because I compromised the seal then hunted another 8 months(much snow and rain included) after breaking it. 3.5 weeks later it was back on my gun and better than when it came from the factory. One week after I mounted it back on I left my dang rifle on my roof and dropped it on the pavement traveling 30mph and it landed directly on the scope. Luckily it was in a soft case, the case tore open where it landed first and the vertical exposed turret on the scope got a little dinged up but, otherwise, I was shooting .75" groups and under yesterday.
I've handled a couple Vortex scopes. My buddy got one of their higher end 1-6x scopes for coyote hunting mostly at night. I'm not sure what he was smoking, I think he just didn't want to buy the same scope I already had. Twice the weight of my VXR and the light up reticle lit up parts of the scope not even used for aiming... making it harder to see your target. He had a VXR the next season, he got a 2-7, I've got 1-4 and now I'm shopping around for a 2-7.
I hope vortex goes out of business.
