What's the deal with the Vortex range of scopes, looking for a cheap usefull backup/spare scope, who is using them and what do you reckon?
I recently got the diamondback and thinks its great, I do recommend them. Not sure about the crossfire, was going to get one of those but I got a good deal on the diamondback so for a bit more coin went with that

and I like the bdc reticle, my crossfire scope isn't used much anymore, just on my 7mmRemMag which is a safe queen at the mom,ent.
i reckon the diamondback is awesome so the crossfire must be very good as well. Have you used the vortex LRBC?Quote:

I now also have a Viper PST 6-24x50 on my 300 win mag and that is awesome!!
I love my crossfire iiAttachment 35225
Crossfire 11 on my 308, sparc on my sks, and looking at a diamondback for the 223 outstanding value for money. Have has the sparc repaired under warranty after ripping the switch cover on barbed wire no problem at all and back in 2 weeks just for the cost of postage.
My crossfire 2 in 3-9x40 is great, very tough and very waterproof, holds zero. Good at picking up light, you can see through the scope but not with your naked eye on when dusk gets dark. My mates leupold was slightly brighter though. :(
