Tikka,

How do you like that Vortex?

I've had several Vipers and really liked them. I'm surprised they have 1/2" clicks on those LRs. I see they're kinda moving toward 30mm tubes. I love the turrets on the Vipers and wish Leupold would come into the 21st century and offer similar setup as standard fare. Kinda pissed I gotta spend an extra $90 to get my 6x36 set up as such.

I do wish there were more options in medium power fixed scopes. I wrote Vortex asking if they had any in the works and they said nada. Apparently, medium power fixed scopes aren't really good money makers... smile frown



It ain't what you don't know that makes you an idiot...it's what you know for certain, that just ain't so...

Most people don't want to believe the truth~they want the truth to be what they believe.
