Too bad it is going to break. Are you referring to Vortex or Trijicon? Between me and my hunting partners we have used at least 8 Trijicon and so far no failures. I did sell my first 4 but only because I wanted something different or upgrading to newer or changes to Mil from MOA.

Most likely about the vortex as Jason's track record with vortex is sketchy. That being said the razor line is typically rock solid with only a handful of defective units just like all the other top tier glass guys.

Trijicon looks great but SFP, and it's 1-1 at 9x. I don't want to have to do the math twice.

What I read was “Vortex is sketchy.” On model lines other than the razor I'll agree to that assessment.

I hesitate on having to be on 18x for accurate wind holds at those medium distances in a hunting situation.

That being said the razor line is typically rock solid with only a handful of defective units just like all the other top tier glass guys. How bout a Razor spotting scope? The Heatstroke Open drove dust inside it. I sent it in. The Hunters Rifle Challenge drove water inside it. I still need to send it in. Don't get me started on their Gen I Viper. That scope gave me trouble, as well as two other people. Gave them three chances. I'm done with them. There are plenty of other good options.

That’s not a condom, that’s a gay indicator that Nightforce started putting in their scopes.
