vortex optics

[N_K_1984]

before asking, I did a search on "vortex optics." I found nothing so far...

SO, does anyone have an opinion of Vortex Optics? I have a nice discount on all their optics through my work... However, I am unfamiliar with them as all we deal in here are pretty much Leupold, Night Force, Eotech, and Elcan.

For what you pay for them I think they are decent. Havent used there actual scopes, just the Strike Fire Red Dot. Once zeroed, I had no issues. I really like the fact the red dots came with the mount and a doubler.

Optics were clear and the dot was solid, not fuzzy!

I have the Strikefire on my M&P15. It's good quality for a budget scope.

It's obviously not even in the same ballpark as the EOTECH, Aimpoints, Elcan, etc.

If you just want to punch holes in paper every once in a while you'll be good to go. If you plan on dragging it through some jungle of some exotic country while you fight the war on whatever then you might want to spend a bit more and go with the brands you mentioned.

i'm just a paper puncher. I was looking into some of their long range optics for a .30-06 project rifle.

Vortex is good quality for the money. I'll +1 for the Strikefire, but I had issues with the supplied mount on a .458socom, it just couldn't handle the recoil. An Aimpoint was mounted and the Strikefire is awaiting reassignment to a gentler hitting gun. I would have swapped it out for a Larue mount, but it didn't make sense to put it in a mount that cost as much as it did and I got a killer deal on the Aimpoint. I have no experience with their other optics, but folks I respect feel they are similar in the quality for the money matrix.

I just bought a Vortex red dot for my 9mm SBR, so far I like it.

I bought it to try out before I started selling them. I know they are cheap but if it will hold up I won't have an issue selling them to people that are looking for a plinking red dot.

I also have a strike fire on my AR. Used it in an IDPA style carbine match in November. Had no problems.

Strikefire here too works great. From what I have read their scopes beat anyone in their price range and rival much more expensive brands. They have a new line coming out this year that I am thinking of getting a high magnification version of after I see some reviews. Their warranty is no BS.

I have a Strike Fire red dot and a Crossfire. I am pleased with both. The red dot is on a 357 mag lever and the Crossfire is on a 30-30 lever. They have very clear glass and have served me well.

I thought I read on arfcom that they were coming out with a dedicated magnifier too.
