So much for the vaunted Swarovski warranty.

If I spent all day staring through vortex glass I’d probably have a headache and be cranky too. And you better believe you’re paying for the cost of those free replacements when you buy the product.

When people ask why Vortex has such a great warranty the response should always be
...Cuz you're gonna need it.

I tried those Vortex 15s one of my buddies hauled around for a season for "tripod glassing" and couldn't believe how terrible they were. Like wow I can see fuzz 15x better now. Are you sure these aren't knock offs? He'd have been better off carrying a can of chili around in his pack. At least you could eat the chili.

With optics you generally get what you pay for in my experience.

The only time I’ve ever needed vortex warranty was when my items got abused. Which was always my fault.


OP, don’t be a snob like some of these….. people….

Just stumbled on this gem of a thread. It's interesting how some threads bring the stupid out in full force.

I must say, I'm surprised you use vortex, would have thought you're more the tasco type.

that’s where the difference is. Vortex are fine for walking through the timber and looking through your optics sometimes. Put them on a tripod in the desert and stare through them for eight hours a day and it’s like taking sandpaper to your retinas.

Correct.
