Vortex riflescope

Any experience with Vortex riflescopes? I'm thinking of ordering one.

I'm curious about it as well....

I’ve had a SPARC II red dot on a 10-22 for about 4 years, never had an issue with it.

I have a Vortex Crossfire II 4-12x50 on a Henry .22 Mag and have not encountered any issues with it.

What is it going on and your planned use. Vortex makes some good scopes

Yes, I've had a cpl Vortex scopes in both FFP & SFP a well as diff price ranges. I've had no complaints out of their scopes - for their price point & should you ever need anything, their warranty & cust serv is second to none.
I currently only have 1 Vortex scope, which is on my .45 smokeless muzzleloader bench rest target rifle. Its a Viper PST Gen2 5-25x50 FFP IR MOA.

Exactly! And good point to make. Sooo many guys have no clue as to how to pair up a rifle & scope for their intendned use.
For far too long, I didn't either. And educating myself on that subject then learning about what quality glass & understanding what diff scope options actually are just created a champagne & caviar taste on a beer & slimjims budget which is abit frustrating.

I know a few people that have Vortex (VIPER PST, RAZOR HD, STRIKE EAGLE, CROSSFIRE II) have not heard any complainants. Two guys had to send them in (operator error-don't tell them that I'm telling you about that!) and Vortex took care of them/the problems. All feedback that I have heard is positive.

Vortex first hit my radar around 2005. Back then, every time I researched them, I kept running into the phrase from online posts “they have a lifetime warranty for a reason.” That honestly made me wary — it sounded like they expected their products to fail. So I stayed away, sticking with Leupold, Zeiss, and Meopta, which I was very happy with at the time.

Fast forward about 7–10 years, and I had an opportunity to buy pallets of returns from Dick’s Sporting Goods. In the first few pallets, I found several Vortex scopes that had been returned for various reasons. Out of curiosity, I sent them all through the Vortex website for warranty service — and every single one was repaired or replaced without question. By the time those returns dried up, I had warrantied around twenty scopes, all handled quickly and professionally.

Since then, I’ve completely gotten over my initial wariness. I started buying their budget scopes and now I own dozens of Vortex optics across different tiers — scopes, red dots, rangefinders, binoculars, you name it. Their customer service and consistency have earned my confidence. I’m not wary of Vortex anymore — in fact, I recommend them to everyone.

What made me choose them was seeing how well they handle their warranty process. I had a couple of older Vortex scopes that I returned just to see how it would go. They took care of everything swiftly without any questions asked. That really built my trust in them. After that, I started picking up more of their optics, even the budget-friendly ones, and I haven’t faced any issues since. Now, I genuinely recommend Vortex to just about everyone I know. Their customer service alone gives me the confidence to invest in their products, and the optics have consistently proven to be reliable. I wouldn’t think twice about putting a Vortex scope on any rifle I plan to take out in the field.
