The Sightron SIII 6-24x50
Have not owned the Vortex.
Interesting features on the Vortex.
In general I like FFP and a zero stop for big game or target work.
For plinking and chucks I can live with the Sightron.
No problem.Depends on what your trying to do.
Sightron used to have a replacment policy.If the scope breaks you get a new one.Not sure if they still do that.Im thinking ...not.
The Sightron has excellant tracking the the clicks are spot on.I would call it a competent optic.
I rate them higher than loopie because of clicks and tracking
as the glass is a wash.
A Sightron is not alpha glass.Not at all.But it can and will get the job done.
Hard to beat for the money.
I think the best all around big scope per dollar
Is the Nightforce BR.
