Appreciate the input.


There are 600 US workers at the Leupold plant who actually build the Redfeilds who no doubt would disagree with the recommendation of a 100% Chinese built scope over their product.

No one here on this thread as defintively specified exactly WHAT about the Vortex Diamondback is "better" than the Redield with any actual head to head comparisons.

The most ammusing post so far has been the the one quoting the online dealer who sells Vortex and NOT Redields/Leupolds saying defacto that the Vortex optics are "better". What in the heck would you expect him to say?
