Quote from: Caretaker on April 25, 2016, 10:29:35 PMI know a lot of guys here swear by Vortex optics and some don't care for them, I have looked through a few Vortex glass over the years and I personally don't see what the hype is. Interesting though, I was in Cabelas on Saturday night and I walked into the Bargain Cave, 95% of the rifle scopes in the case were Vortex. I didn't see one Swarovski, no Zeiss, no Leupold, maybe one or two Nikon's and one or two Burris scopes. Now that makes me wonder why so many purchased them and returned them either for defects, repairs, or just plain poor quality. The amount of returns on a product makes me think I'll never own a piece of Vortex optics. Many times when you see this in the Bargain Cave they have replaced the demo units. I have seen the same with other manufacturers products.

I have always been less than impressed with TASCO and Simmons.

Guess there junk too?Too many stories of how wonderful Leupold was about replacing failed optics for me to feel confident.I don't own any Leupold for that reason....And a side by side comparison to a Burris left me less than impressed with their glass.

Any optic company will have warranty issues, it's just how it is. To me it is how they handle the issues they do have.
I drive a Dodge and look through vortex optics. This is my first night at Optics Anonymous.

Strange.I sent a scope in to be cleaned and they couldn't have been nicer about it.Sorry you had that experience.My Fullfield IIs have lead a rough life on top of Tikka 300WSM and never complains, just drives tacks every year and is clear and bright.
