Thread: Vortex Optics are grouse

Bought my Diamonback HP 3-12x42 at the same time as my Browning x bolt in 270wsm. The shop originally suggested and supplied a Burris 3-9x40, which was okay, but I had read a lot of reviews about the Vortex and didn't really like the Burris reticle, so asked to swap it for the Vortex with the Deadhold BDC. The guys at the gunshop I shop at are great people and agreed, no problemo. They got me the Vortex scope and I was pleased to find that the glass was at least as good and it had more features as well, such as the side parallax adjustment, a much better reticle and better lowlight performance. One surprise was that the lens caps had nothing in them to protect the lenses - no glass, no plastic - just holes. I contacted Vortex Optics and reported this and was pleasantly surprised and impressed to receive an immediate reply from Mr Shamus Terry, International Sales Manager, asking for my address so that he could send me replacement lens caps at no charge. This is a great company with great products great warranty and fantastic customer support. I will be recommending this company and its products to everyone I know, and will definitely be buying more of their stuff: next will be a Ranger 1500 rangefinder. Vortex Optics rocks.
