Changed my post, read it again. Vortex's own website has the thing listed at $1800.00, still nowhere near the $2500 you're trying to tell everyone you paid.

I'd be really interested in those SLC's for $950. Can you PM me a link to that please?

I'm kind of wondering why this redneckbmx guy cares so much about what someone else buys, how much he pays, etc. I know I could care less.

Assuming you're talking to me with this post?

Vortex Optics Razor HD 22-48x65 Angled Spotting Scope​

and the dealer also has Swarovski 80HD ATS scope for 2300 including the eye piece with no tax

Well it's your fault for paying that much for that optic and it's not Vortex's fault. MAP on it is $1300 so you can get it from many dealers for about $1100 plus tax.

What Swaro dealer is selling products at a loss? I need some EL Range TA's.

looks like he is familiar with Swarovski MPN and he might not understand how you can get it so discounted. I aint even going to tell him that I found NL pure 10x42 for $2650 tax/shipping include

I don't give a flying **** what he paid for it and got hosed, that's his own fault. It's not Vortex's fault though who he's trying to blame his bad decisions on.

Yeah because you're full of shit. You're quoting prices BELOW DEALER COST.

Lets see the invoice where you got an ATS 65 with 20-60 eyepiece for $1800 OTD.

I'll start this thread by saying I know nothing of optics.

THE TITLE OF THIS THREAD IS TOTAL HOGWASH

Trashing Vortex like this is just plain stupid.

FWIW, I have owned almost all of the major brands of optics….. Vortex is one of the GREAT optics brands. Yes, they make lesser quality optics to hit a lower price point…..Damn this original poster has a bad case of sour grapes.

Who goes around trashing a good company when they buy a Moped and expect it to be a KTM?

What you experienced is the same with all manufacturers, cheap optics. So Many guys upgrade that nobody wants that cheap stuff….it gets heavily discounted and there isn’t much of a market for it used. A tiny bit of research and the OP would have known that.

Vortex has a great warranty, good company. They have a variety of low price point optics and they make some really good stuff in their Japanese made UHD line.

Unfair to single them out, TOTAL BULLSHIT REALLY….just because one butthurt guy wants to blame anyone besides himself- < face palm>

I have a couple vortex scopes, I feel you get what you pay for. A cheaper scope is just not the same to look through as a high end scope. Both work just fine, just better clarity in my opinion

Exactly. Higher end scopes will be more clear. My Vortex Scopes, I have several, all track correctly and return to zero. That is all I really need a scope to do. I don't glass with a scope. I just put the crosshair on the target. If I ever upgrade I probably won't go Vortex. I would prefer something more clear/bright. However, for now, the upgrade in dollars to get a little extra brightness won't change my outcome or ability to harvest in the meantime. IMO.

For nocs and spotter I do run alpha level optics. The price differential in this category is worth it in my opinion. No regrets on that platform.

 

[fmyth]

you see I smartened up and and started researching prices...I found brand new swarovski ats 65HD with 20-60x eyepiece for $1800 to my door

Care to share where you got that deal? I'd pick one up for that price.

 

[Fartrell Cluggins]

I need to remind people from time to time that the swirling mass of liquid in a toilet is a vortex and a company made a conscious decision to chose that as its name. That should tell you all you need to know.

The title of the thread is complete BS. FNGs!
Would have made more sense if it said something about ‘Uneducated consumers blaming others for their stupidity’.

check the classifieds..There has to be ton's of uneducated because most are selling used Vortex above what coaches, 1st responders and their pets etc pay for new.
Based on your logic everyone is uneducated because they cant get swaro glass at the same price as I did.
Title is good, your approach is wrong ..

Even their own website doesn't have the darn thing for that much money. Something isn't adding up in your story.

Yeah I have no idea why the dude paid $2500 for it. I wish I could find guys that would pay prices like that for the extra gear I have laying around, I could probably afford that trip to Alaska I've wanted to do...

Most major optics companies have different discount programs that aren't available to the public. Not trying to be rude but seems like the issue is you aren't as great of a bargain hunter as you thought you were. Anytime you pay full retail and then try to sell your taking a hit. You're also on a forum where the prevailing opinion is not very high on vortex which will likely further depress what you recoup if this is where you choose to conduct a sale.

dude do you even read whatever others post?
i never paid 2500
never purchased what you linked
1k posts but so far you are missing the mark or giving random answers every time you posted here..ARE YOU A RUSSIAN BOT?

You were not rude at all..and maybe the forum has a bad opinion of Vortex for good reason. Anyway thank you for your input
