The Razors are very good. Everything else Vortex isn’t worth the hassle of using their great warranty, and you will.
The Steiners were a steal at $450ish, aren’t a bad deal at around $600ish. Paying $800 for one is crazy.
If you don’t need illumination I’d go Huron / Ascent for $400ish. I think the same with illumination in the Credo is $650ish for a 1-4.
The Illuminated Credo 1-6 is a great deal at $800. I’d get the dot / bdc reticle.
I'd have to agree about the Steiner prices, they've really gone up. I think I got mine for around $500 and I thought it was a good deal.
