For the Vortex guys
jrebel:
Warranty or not.....would never trust a hunt to a vortex scope. That said their binoculars and spotting scopes, should they break....when they break, will not ruin a hunt. I still won't buy them for my hunts, but get why folks do....always heard the same thing when it comes to their warranty.
Now....take that brand new spotter and sell it!! Take the money and buy yourself a nice Swaro spotter. :chuckle: :chuckle:

I need to send a pair of Vulture 15's in...just not sure if they're broken enough to warrant replacement. One loose eyecup and the diopter has a huge "take up." Can't get the right and left barrels to focus properly.

I don't know why Vortex gets such a bad reputation. I don't own a ton of their products but I do have a PST 6-24x50 that has been dialed up and back more times than most will EVER dial and has been flawless, it's been on top of the rifle that's killed quite a few blacktail and whitetail at distances from 40-600 yards and never had a single issue. I've got a Razor spotting scope that has traveled in my pack and truck for the last 5 years and has spotted hundreds of deer from miles away and is still going as strong as day 1, and a pair of their inexpensive Stonerun binoculars that I bought for the girls that I will pick up if they're sitting next to my Leupold binoculars because they're that much clearer. I haven't had to use their warranty yet, but I'm glad it's there IF I ever need it. In my opinion, they make products at a reasonable price that will get the job done just fine. If you're the guy going on a $10,000 hunt of a lifetime you probably don't have a Vortex scope on your custom $8,000 gun anyhow. If you're a hunter who heads out for deer and elk once a season in the local woods, I'd be pretty confident in just about any Vortex rifle scope sitting on top of your Ruger American or Savage rifle. Shoot straight y'all.

Vortex has a reputation for two things:
1. The best Warranty in the business
2. Products that require it
This isn't coming from me. A buddy of mine runs a long range shooting school for civilian and military marksmen. His observation over years of work. He says when you get a good one, it's good. But if it won't hold a zero, it's probably the scope, send it back...
