For the Vortex guys

[Sakko300wsm]

I will 100% say they did their warranty good!
I am not a Vortex fan at all period. All my rifles have Nightforce glass ,both pair of my binocs are Leica ( range finder pair and and standard).
So I bought this spotting scope from a forum member used about 10 years ago - was their Razor HD model. It’s been on quite a few trips , been bouncing around in my range bag. Took it out after my last Montana hunt and it was almost falling in half. Sent it in to have it fixed - and they just sent back a new Razor HD spotting scope- their highest end model no questions asked

Only thing I ever bought was a window mount base for my spotter. Wasn’t impressed with that and never looked at another Vortex product. Makes me wonder though with that warranty.

I have a pair of Vultures from vortex. Never had any warranty done. But friends told me they would replace any of their products with a note on how it got broke. No question.

They did the same thing for me with a Viper spotting scope. Older discontinued model that fell apart. They replaced it with the newest model Viper without question.

I had a truck roll down a cliff years ago, I had a set of viper binos that flew out the back about halfway down and were smashed up pretty badly. A few weeks after collecting the pieces and getting the truck hauled out I sent the binos to Vortex and experienced the same thing, replaced with a brand new set with no questions asked.

There is not a better warranty out there.

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.

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...

Ya same here! Would not put one of their scopes on any of my rifles. That's probably exactly what I will do actually - anyone need a new in the box Razor HD 27-60x85 angled spotting scope

Best warranty is the one you don't have to use.

The best warranty in the industry; because you’re gonna need it.

These threads always crack me up . Guys always stating " best warranty because you will need it " . Are all these comments 1st hand , or just regurgitating what they hear online ? . I have a few Vortex scopes ( not even the hi end ones )  that I beat the hell out of and have never used the warranty  . Also have quite a few Leupold scopes that get beat on , that I have needed to use the  warranty

I've owned two and both had to be sent back.  Maybe I got a couple bad ones....but that's a really bad track record.  I won't buy one of their rifle scopes ever again.  If I was given one, I would sell it w/out opening the box. 

I do currently have a couple of their red dots.....and haven't had any problem with them yet.
