Anybody have experience with the vortex strike eagle 3x18x44 FFP?

"Vortex is a lifestyle brand masquerading as an optics company." I would argue you could say the same about Leupold, Athlon or really any big optics company.

Yes you def could argue that and you wouldn’t be wrong either, but in my opinion Vortex is much more about the lifestyle and less about quality optics than the brands you mentioned.

But I’m just a dude on the internet so really I’m not expert but I would defer our very own expert @schmalts

I can see what you are saying. Personally I've never had a problem with vortex so I don't have any reason to stop using them.

I have been throwing on vortex on alot of my rifles. Affordable and for my use they work fine. Guys in the prs world, or guiding hunters 100 days a year might find vortex not hold up. I had 1 scope come out of the box with a gasket loose in the eye piece. Follow torque specs and mount correctly/ level and they are fine. I think i have 12 vortex scopes and the diamondback hp had the gasket issue. Vortex fixed it in less than a week back to my door. Shot a buck a week later with it. Reticle availability in vortex alone is better than alot of leupold. Boring crosshair duplex reticles dont get my attention and leupold comes with a hefty price. Trijicon, swaro and nightforce are on a different price level and quality. 12 of those and i would be getting a divorce lawyer!
