I do not want to comment on the quality of the glass. That is not the nature of your thread.
Vortex is simply a trade name. Just like so many other trade names. They don't make anything. They just buy from a mfr. and then they put their name on it.
So if you want to pay more and get less then buy them. Just remember there is one more middle man involved with the profits. And I consider that a bad thing.
I only buy glass that is made and sold by the same company. With their name on it!! This puts one less profit center in the sale. And hopefully you will be the winner in this deal.
Just remember the name Vortex, is just like other trade names like Simmons or Tasco or Bushnell. The name gets bought and sold. Once the name is sold the warranty becomes worthless. Tom.
