Never a issue with Leupold.

The VX5 has set the standard for me hands down.
Sent my burris SixX back on warranty as it got a small chip on a lense. Burris sorted it out no worries. Love burris optics.

Vortex.
I wont hate on them but after 2 warranty claims for a mid tier optic due to loosing zero (I checked all the mounts etc too) with its zero stop.

Never again for vortex.

Wish I had the money for VX5s on my other 2!
Just my 2 cents

Which model Vortex did you have issues with?
Seems the lower priced models are hit or miss, mid tier and up are usually fine.

I had a VX6 and have a VX5HD, there are some things I don't like about them (lack of MRAD, not fuesed on reticle choices) but as far a glass, turrets, FOV, illumination etc go the VX5hd is an exceptionally good scope.
I've not had much experience with the lower end scopes other than Mark 4 that I had which for the most part was fine, but being a 20year old design meant it was left wanting compared to some of the newer scopes.
