Glass quality is a subjective perception

[Metzger]

I have a Weaver Tactical 3x15x50mm FFP cost me about $800 bucks 5 years ago. Saturday I got to look through a Vortex Razor 4.5x17x56mm . Those scopes go for $2500 +bucks. I was scoping steel rams at 500 yds. I did not see a $1700 dollar better image . But the Vortex did have a Christmas tree type reticle. Just my thoughts.

I dont like vortex razor line IMO. Go look though a swarovski Z6...

Guys are really digging up some old threads lately. I take tracking over glass. Once I have confidence in glass I run with it. Nothings more important to me. That's how long shots happen.

Tracking, the ability to drop it without losing zero, and then a warranty for when it craps the bed when it's dropped one too many times.

Haven't used the NF warranty yet, but the Vortex warranty works well.

Those are great scopes. The weaver tacticals didn't get the credit they deserved, that was weavers fault for not updating reticles in my opinion. Rumor was they didn't want to overshadow their sister company Bushnell and their elite series.

Dude…that 6-30x56 they had was amazing…going rate for that thing was $750. I had mine stolen two years ago and can't find them for $750 anymore.

I sold mine and I regret it, it's one of my biggest blunders. It's a tank, and I'm trying to find another one.

You helped me buy it. It was from a guy on snipers hide who was a vendor or something.
