Looking to replace my decades old Bushnell 400 and was looking at the Vortex Ranger ($349 most places) or a comparable Sig Sauer or Bushnell model. It seems in the same price range or above the SS and Bushnell provide a lot of stuff I'd never use and don't want to pay for, like exchanging data with my smart scope via Bluetooth or providing complete ballistic solutions via smart phone app. They have to pay for those features somehow so I'm wondering what they cut or lessened to keep the same price point.
I just wanna know how far away something is. The one feature I would use and which they all have is a true horizontal distance mode. I like the Vortex bright reticle, it seems easier to see in lower light.
So, pretty much in favor of the Vortex but before buying one I wanted to throw this out to the forum to see if there are any gotchas or hidden faults in the Vortex, or perhaps another brand stands head and shoulders above the rest. Trying to keep the price in the $350 range.
