    is vortex 3-18 inferior in 2025? just a discussion.

    You get what you pay for in this business. I would stay away from low end Vortex (or any other low end scope).

    Leupold Warranty Repairs

    I would think this is correct. My dilemma could be that my Leupolds are primarily pre-2000 models with limited parts availability.

    Leupold Warranty Repairs

    I have sent a number of Leupolds back over the years, but none recently. The scopes were always promptly repaired and returned.

    Leupold Warranty Repairs

    Has anyone recently dealt with Leupold warranty service? I understand with older scopes, they seldom repair the scope and simply send out a new one. I have an older Vari X iii that needs an internal cleaning and I don't want a new scope. It's been years since I sent one back.

    Bino help?

    Swarovski EL or Vortex UHD. Try both and decide for yourself.

    Vortex Razor UHD vs HD’s

    I've had both and they are outstanding. In addition to my previous comment, the UHD will be a little better in low light.

    Vortex Razor UHD 10x42 good price?

    Yes, unconditional lifetime warranty. You will spend double to get a better optic.

    Best 10x42 for 1K or less

    You will likely spend twice that amount to get a better optic. I have numerous Zeiss, Leica, Swarovski, and Vortex binoculars. The UHD's are optically among the finest I have ever used.

    If you had to start over....

    With components at ridiculous prices and no hope for the future, I typically don't recommend folks getting into reloading. I'm glad I stockpiled everything years ago, when we reloaded because it saved money and allowed us to produce more accurate loads than factory. Neither holds as much...

    Vortex Razor HD vs Zeiss Conquest HD?

    I have owned the Razor HD and Conquest HD. Both are outstanding. Eye relief might be a touch better on the Zeiss if you wear glasses.

    Why don’t the Kowa Genesis Binos get more love?

    I understand many of the older Bushnell spotting scopes were made by Kowa.

    Why don’t the Kowa Genesis Binos get more love?

    Marketing is the major factor in my opinion. Most consumers never have the opportunity to try Kowa branded products. On the other hand, many people likely use older Kowa products branded for other companies and don't even realize it.
