Vortex is fair, but makes me mad

Yeah that’s diamondback money.

Diamondback is a 15 minute scope after sunset or before sunrise. Basically crap for low light. Yes i have on on a ML. Good otherwise.

I have many crossfires and a couple diamondbacks. All are decent scopes, but I don’t run my rifles over with a tank or throw them off mountains. Actually just put a diamondback on my ML a couple weeks ago.

So everyone hates vortex now, I get it. They sold you a scope for the price of a game changer shooting bag. A canvas bag full of sand... Canvas pillow full of air is more viper territory. I love vortex, they do a real service to the fellow on a budget. One of the few companies who provides a reasonable opportunity for the average joe and makes it right no questions asked when something goes wrong. Not everyone is flying across the world hunting with guides going on trips that cost more than my daily driver. Lots of guys are just shooting deer and squirrels on grandpa's back 40. A Crossfire if babied appropriately is more than reasonable for that type of stuff. Congrats on the elk. You did good and you pulled it off with a $150 scope. Don't get too jaded, half the fun is getting it all done with what you have. Please show vortex some respect. They got me up and running on my first few builds and I still have a handful.

I am considering the Trijicon Huron, but it is a little over budget.

Even the new 4-16x50 Huron is under your $800 budget from Optics Planet.

Just buy a $450 Leupold and go hunting. That's all 98% of hunters need. The other 2% that are all right here need a scope that can survive throwing it off a 2 story roof onto the concrete and still maintain a zero. Some crazy shit.
