Anybody have first hand experience with this scope? Im thinking about picking one up, the reviews look good. Putting it on my .338 MXLR. I wish I could find a silver one with long range and a thousand dollars.

I have a 6.5-20x44 and it's rock solid. Glass is great, track wells, no problems to speak of. I'm actually going to order one more Wednesday and another sometime in the future.

Good scopes and the warranty is hard to beat. My next scope will be another Vortex for sure.

They make great optics.
I don't think you could go wrong if you bought one.
The way Vortex designed the objective lens, was they had the idea to fully multi coated lenses in order wo absorb as much light as possible without reflecting more of it out, like others that are single coated.
They are phenominal, I should have never sold mine for the Razor, I love the Razor, but the Viper was great.
