    any scope can hold zero its more clarity and robustness you pay the money for

    but that being said as I said each to there own but ill still give ya shit for it

    All due respect. I wouldn't hesitate to put a suitable vortex on my Blaser.

    Waiting to see what a member thinks of a new one before I look to get one for my .223 barrel.

    I looked through one last night
    And well I thought it sucked.
    217 yards at dusk poor guy couldn't see a hind sitting in the scrub.
    Might be ok for paper punching or day shooting if that's your thing.
    Edit: I should add I went into it with with my mind open.

    Still interested in what others opinons are.

    I was gunna go swaro as I like a fine ret for .223 when varmiting.
    I mainly use it for fringe shooting meat deer in the warmer months so I need good light gathering.

    Can't say I have used one in low light but I like what I saw of a few I have seen around. Bit heavy for my liking but I heard the new one was lighter than 300grms?

    Different application.
    Believe it or not I have had every swaro RIFLESCOPE I have owned fail, either by fogging or holding zero. Same goes for a longtime hunting mate.

    Binos and spotters have been great.
