In the interest of making sure my previous post isn't misunderstood: for clarity of image, color and light gathering I give a clear advantage to Tract ELR over NF and Vortex. I would not say outright that the Tract is a better scope than NF because there are tens of thousands of NF out there and more than a few that have been beaten like they were borrowed from someone you don't like and they work. I don't think Tract has that track history yet. For my use, which limits abuse as much as possible, the Tract has been excellent and completely problem free. That said, let's see what happens when I get a thousand plus rounds of use on it and the unavoidable abuse that will happen over that time. I have stopped buying a couple big name scopes in this thread because they don't hold up, the warranty on both is excellent and both companies have repaired the scopes no questions but I am looking for gear I don't need a warranty on.
