    Rifle Scopes VORTEX OPTICS AWARDED OTA FOR THE US ARMY’S COMPETITIVELY SOLICITED NEXT GENERATION SQUAD WEAPON FIRE CONTROL

    Hi, this is Dave at Vortex Optics. I don't know where this keeps coming out from but it's absolutely false rumors. What we mark on our scopes is exactly correct. The AMG does NOT have sub-sourced parts coming form China or anywhere else outside the USA. Other than the reticle, which is made...

    Vortex razor hd 4000 rangefinder

    On my sheep hunt I actually got better ranges than this. I was in Montana at higher elevation and low humidity, though. We also designed this rangefinder to do quite well in the rain. That's it for now. Got to run, everyone. Hope you are having a great Saturday! Dave

    Vortex razor hd 4000 rangefinder

If you need to range between narrow tall objects you could turn the unit sideways...or better yet you could use the first mode or last modes. Speaking of which, often times the desire for a smaller beam divergence is to discriminate a...

    Vortex razor hd 4000 rangefinder

    Hi everyone, I just want to clarify what might be a typo above. The beam divergence is not 2.0x1.0. It's 2.0x0.1 ("zero point one"). So, it's a very thin line. While 2.0 on the long edge may seem like a lot I have used and tested this rangefinder extensively as I oversaw the team that...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex Defender caps on the SWFA 5-20x50. Success?

    Dave at Vortex here, Best thing to use is 3M #2228 self sealing tape. I have use this on my ice climbing tools as well for many years and it's always worked great. It seals awesome, has some stretch, holds really well to the scope and leaves no residue when removed. Obviously, I have used it...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex AMG new reticle??

    Thanks guys! We definitely try to take everyone's feedback and apply it the best we can. There are a lot of forces behind the scenes that drive reticle design that I will not address publicly. It certainly is not because we aren't listening. In fact many of us here at Vortex are shooters and...
