Vortex

talk to TORCH , i believe he's a vortex guy, on some other post he said he loved them and another i think he's ordering a rifle scope and spotting scope, so he must be happy with them. i've never looked thru a pair.

were can i go look at a pair. I live in south utah county.

I looked through a pair of the binos from Paul Kendall at the Sneekee Expo. They seemed real good, I'd like to get a pair plus a spotting scope someday. Budget is always tight, but I think they are probably the best bang for the buck by far.

I'm sold on them, as soon as I get the money.

ive looked thru a few pair as well and i finally saved enough money to go buy some.
I was just after some more feedback from others beside the salesperson! thanks

9er--- scroll down on optics and click on "good spotting scope" and scroll down, they talk about vortex optics.

Sorry boys, I just saw this thread. If you are interested in Vortex optics give me a call. I went through Paul and became an authorized dealer. If you tell me you are a member of Muley Madness I will sweeten the deal. I guarantee beating any price out there.

I been thinking about the Razors. It's between these and the Cabelas Euros.

Vortex makes good stuff, about 90 - 95% of the optical quality of a Zeiss, at about 1/3 the price.

I personally like the Vipers. A bit longer eye relief than the diamondbacks, but not as expensive as Razors.

9er,

I'm not a salesperson by any means if that was directed at me too. Paul is a good friend of mine, but I don't make a dime off of them nor would I say they where good if I didn't believe so. I have many different brands of optics now including Vortex. If I didn't think they were good, then I wouldn't buy any nor say they were good regardless of wether or not a friend of mine is affiliated with them. I just think they are a good bang for the buck. I'm not trying to sell anything.....I have my own business to run which doesn't have anything to do with hunting. I hope that clears things up a bit. :)

Pros: I don't think you will find better glass for the money. The color fidelity and clarity is awesome in the ED models.(I haven't looked through many of the low end models) Lifetime warranty.

Cons: They are heavier than some comparable models. They are a new company and so durability could be a concern.....but with the warranty you can always send them back.

It was nothing against ya when i meant "salesman", i called and talked to a rep for them and he told me everything that i had already heard, i was just wanting some more info from those that have used them in the field! sorry!

9er,

You don't need to be sorry. That's why I put a smiley at the end. I was just letting ya know that I don't have anything to gain. I just like em! :thumb

I wanna be an optics salesman, where do I sign up??? How much do I gotta buy to start??? Is this like MLM ( I hate MLM )???

No Amway here. But it does take some work. I work directly with the company.

Personally the money is spent to support my website project. Providing usable free big game stats to the hunting community, and supporting organizations that help to maintain our hunting privileges like Colorado Bowhunting Association (CBA). Once I get enough money I plan on sending money into RMEF. In addition we are trying to support other hunting forum sites, with the view toward helping new and inexperienced hunters enjoy a successful hunting season.

Besides developing website content we have also provided a free two hour map scouting seminar, demonstrating how to use free mapping software and the CO NDIS mapping website to scout their prospective hunting areas. Plus we are working on trying to figure out how to have a field day, where we can take new hunters out to the field, show them how to scout, and call.

In fact I've donated a set of optics to the recent CBA banquet and will repeat the donation (maybe a set of 10x42 razors (MSRP $869.99) that they can use for fund raising) for the upcoming CBA Jamboree on July 20 - 22 near Shrine pass.

Come on up and meet Paul Medel (AKA Elknut, from Elknut Outdoor Productions - http://www.elknut.com). We have arranged for him to speak and share his experience at the Jamboree on Saturday afternoon. Your entry fee will include an annual membership to CBA as well as access to several 3D ranges. It is a great weekend.
