Vortex Optics Dealer--ElkNut1
« on: March 08, 2008, 10:09:48 AM »

   Hey guys, just letting all know that as of last week I signed on to be a dealer for Vortex Optics. I know many have heard of them as well some already own them. They are definitely very high quality for sure as I own many different ones myself including the Spotting Scopes. I will have more info on our Site as we get it installed but just wanted to give a heads up for now! Feel free to PM me or email me at  elknut@citlink.net  if you have any questions! Thanks!

Sweet.  Nice optics for the money.  One of the best values in spotters and binos on the market.

  Yes, the Vortex line is as highest quality as one would could expect! Last year in 07 they were named Optics of the year in Outdoor Life Magazine, that's pretty cool!

  As a comparison, take a top of the line Swarovski EL in 10x42, this is a very popular size, it sells in the neighborhood of 1700.00--1900.00 dollars. If one gets the opportunity compare them to the top of the line Vortex Razors, they are every bit the quality you would expect in a great binocular & will rival the Swarovski, they sell from us for 769.00 that includes shipping! They have a Lifetime transferable warranty that goes for the entire Vortex line, not bad huh? That's a good 1000.00 less & you sacrifice nothing!  Just food for thought!

I own 1 of their Sandpiper spotters.  A great value at 330 shipped (when I purchased).  Not sure there's anything under 600 that can touch it.

I bought the Vortex Viper 10x42 binoculars this year.  I couldn't find a local dealer so I had to buy them on faith and mail order them.  I was pleasantly surprised when I got them.  They aren't quite a Swarovsky but reasonably close with a price tag of $400...

Made in the usa, lifetime transferrable warranty. Sounds good. Would like to see the glass.

  I agree with the transferable warranty & made in America stuff for sure! Most Optics do not offer this!

  The vipers will rival most of the Swarovski line, compare them & see, I've done it! They will not rival the 10x42 ELs though, the Swarovskis have the edge there, but that's the top of the line Optics for them, the Viper is not the top of the line for Vortex! Compare the Vortex Razors now & that's a different story, they are neck & neck, I've done this as well. The thing is the Swarovski 10x42 EL is selling on ebay right now for 1995.00. The Razors are sold by us for 769.00 & that's with free shipping & a free Vortex Bino Harness.  Now that's a huge difference & you sacrifice nothing in quality. But you have a better warranty with Vortex.

  Incidentally, the Vipers in 10x42 sell for 509.00, that's a huge difference as well, yet you would have to pass both the Swarovski ELs & the Vipers back & forth several times to see what the differences are. They are that good! If you go to the SLC line of swarovski then you will see the Vipers really shine at better that 1/2 the cost! Just food for thought when making comparisons!
  Contact me if you have any questions about pricing or other Optics as our prices aren't on our Site as of yet!

  Thanks/ElkNUt/Paul

Vortex web site says the Viper in 10X42 is 609.00 MSRP. The prices quoted here differ quite a bit or am I cross eyed?
Some people spend their entire life wondering if they made a difference. Marines don't have that problem.

The msrp isn't what they generally sell for.  I got my Viper 10x42 for about $400...

I am sure there are a variety of prices that folks have gotten. I am just stating that Elknut1 says "We" as in Vortex sell for this amount and yet it differs with what the Vortex sites states. Elknut1, are you representing Vortex with your price quotes?
