Okay...let's say a fella wants to buy a new scope and has approximately $200 he's willing to spend.
Would you recommend he spend it on:
(A) REDFIELD REVOLUTION 4X12X40
or
(B) VORTEX DIAMONDBACK 4X12X40
All advice appreciated, but advice from those that have or do own one or the other is appreciated that much more.
Thanks!

Don't let the typical optics forum hissy fits give you any indigestion. Go to a sportmans warehouse/bass pro shop and look at and thru the new Redfield, in my opinion it is a lot of scope for the money based on looks alone. Next call up Doug and Cameraland and have him send you one of the Vortex scopes on evaluation. Make your own mind up. Finally the viper's are made in the Philippines according to the guy I spoke to at Vortex. Secondly I am very happy with the level of interest and support I got on speaking to them on their customer line. They actually put two scopes on a collimator for me to see where the parallax was set at and if it varied over the power range (it did not), but I think I am going to buy a fixed X scope this time anyway.
