Vortex Vs. Leica

[bobcat]

Mine have a "Made in China" sticker on them. 

Unfortunately, I can't afford Leica, Swarovski, or Leupold.

So I have what I can afford.

The top of the line Vortex stuff will run all day with the others. I have a bottom of their line (diamondback) scope that fogged up on the inside. I sent it back to them and they fixed it and returned it to me within 10 days of me sending it in. The $200 scope was either 6 or 7 years old. Warranty and customer service was top notch for me. If I had the big coin to drop on glass, I'd stick with vortex. I own 4 pieces of gear with their name on it and it all serves me well and none of it is top of their line stuff.

The only thing I don't like about Vortex is that they're made in China.

(If that's something that concerns you)

Germany needs his money to bail out Greece and Italy.

The Vortex I looked at the other day wern't made in China.  They said "Made in PRC" right on them.
