    The two I looked threw would be a step down from a vx1 glass wise, cant argue with the price tho.
    Which model Vortex?
    The first thread ever in this section is a quick review I did on a viper HS, Id rate it about Bushnell 4200/vx3 glass wise.It wouldn't have caught up with a VX6 but then its half the price.
    I had a converstation with vortex CS a while back when the paralex turned out to be 50yds instead of 100, when I took the scope out of the rigs I found Id crushed it with the vertical split rings, just lazy really as the torque wrench was sitting on the table. When I told vortex it was my fault they just said no worries and sent me a brand new one in rapid time, not even a freight charge so I rate their warranty better than leupold.
    I think the diamond back 4-12 for $280nz landed is one of the true scope bargins around today.
