Vortex doing Vortex things?

Sounds like Vortex’s new military optic isn’t holding up as expected.

From the article- "The XM7 with mounted XM157 demonstrated a low probability of completing one 72-hour wartime mission without incurring a critical failure,"

It doesn’t list specifically what the issue is, but hey, at least they have a warranty.

Awful vague

Ya I would like to see what this "critical failure" is talking about.

Yea I saw that article. I haven’t talked to anyone about it. Sad that testing didn’t reveal the issues. 72 hours is not a very long mission. With the new round and smaller magazine capacity they’re going to have to rely less on suppressive fire and make every shot count.
