Team, who is the best NZ rep to send Vortex products to for repair? Or is it better to send them directly to the states?
Cheers

At least now it'll have better light transparency
Front focal plane scope isn’t it
No it's a Diamondback SFP
I must be the luckiest prick on the forum, i have 6 or 7 different vortex scopes on my rifles, never had an issue and they all perform bloody well, i can never work out why so many people bag them.
Yeah mate, most guys have a favourite and a brand they love to hate. Iv had more grief with leupold than any other brand. Still going to give the VX 5 a spin though.Quote:

Me to , I have three and all been good so far. I know a guy who bought brand new Swaro Z6 I and when he mounted it on rifle the windage adjuster would move one way but wouldn't shift back. Brand new out of box, it's back in Austria getting fixed now. You get duds in all makes.
Your strumming the nightforce banjo hard Andy you on commission with Dan?[emoji16]Quote:

GWH,
I'll tell you what I'll do.
I'm sure that other people on the forum know you well and I see you have over 2 k posts so ..
I will send you a Nightforce 3.5-10 x42
This one
NXS™ 2.5-10×42 COMPACT RIFLESCOPE | Riflescopes & Sport Optics | Nightforce Optics, Inc., it of course has the MIl-R reticle.
You can have a look at it put it on a rifle and see what value it may have for you.
At least that one has a sane weight. Some of the NFs weigh more than the rifle!Quote:

Happy to do it for a member.
Set it up and shoot it, that's what they are for.
regards,
Very nice scope and one you don't see very often come up for sale - good practical power range - good usable reticle design - good reticle illumination - good size and weight scope for a hunting rifle... If you ever want to sell it @jakewire then feel free to get in touch :) (assuming of course GWH doesn't grab it!)Quote:

repeat post.... Still a nice scope :)
mate runs that scope on his sako bushpig and says it is epic. Ridiculously clear, dials well and not overly heavy.
Exravision in Aus are the NZ Reps.
@Gillie did you look through my Sig Sauer Whiskey5 3-15x44 at the GAS? Pretty practical and compact with good glass to boot.
They left smears on the interior lenses when they fixed it.Quote:

With you there, have had quite a few and now have upgraded everything to newer models and no issues with any...Quote:

But you're also buying piece of mind.Quote:

@300_BLK No, I didn't have a look through it. I did have a play with one of their Tango 4 models a while ago though.Quote:

Ha, true, and with all the new comers to the market even more so. ,Quote:

What does an NF NXS 2.5-10x42 cost?
Hunting an fishing North Shore has a Whiskey 5 for about $1800. Not sure which one but lovely piece of glass and not too heavy. Would love one myself.Quote:
