I have a Vortex Viper on my 22-250 and it works well on that squirrel or targets at less than 200 yards typically. We have a Crossfire on daughters 243 that sees a little target use. My trust in their product line is minimal based on reputation and experience so far and they would not make it to a real hunting rifle of mine used for something bigger than varmints.

I've sent back products from Vortex, they were replaced. The last thing I sent back was a Leupold spotter and it came back fogged the first time but did get repaired properly eventually. The experience hasn't soured me on Leupold but it confirmed that optics don't always work and aren't even handled correctly by the big dog in US optics.
