Vortex dump

[amateurhourhunter]

After my bear hunt next month I’m most likely going to dump 90% of my vortex and switch to leupold. What made me want to do this is the razor hd, viper and diamondback are all made in China now. Use to be Japan and Philippines. The diamondback on my Winchester is a solid scope 4-16x42 and parallax adjustable. The ones made now feel cheap and less features. What made me always use vortex was the warranty and customer service. The reason I’m going Leupy is cause I do get a hefty discount. Am I being irrational?

I’d be pretty interested in the diamondback. I have no shame

Please show me a pic of a Razor, Viper and Diamondback (other than the DB Tactical FFP model) scopes made in China.

Razor hd binos are made in China now (still 1000 bucks tho) UHD made in japan
Diamondback line of everything is def made in china. Buddy bought one last year.
If they make the razor bino in China def gonna the vipers there

As much as I try to buy made in USA or at least not China, I want stuff that works with out question. Leupold failed me, I moved on. Can't recommend the scope test section on this site enough if you want to skip scope drama.

I know what ya mean. I own a lot of sitka great stuff made in China. I get a huge discount. I don’t understand how made in usa hunting gear has made such a late show in the game. Did leupold product fail or customer service failed you?

 

[Bluumoon]

Product fail, haven't bothered with customer service, it was a VX2 that I'll throw on a .22. Loss of zero without a major impact just riding around in truck. 14" difference at 400 yards. Sent me down a rabbit hole and lead to this site.

yes. You should switch to something that works..... Vortex AND leupold dumped, here....

Had a vx2 do the same thing to me, no hard impacts riding on atv rack, 6 inches right at 100.

Ive been doing the same with my vortex scopes and only have one left. Have a Viper HST that will hopefully find a new home once my new scope shows up.

Diamondback line of everything is def made in china

WRONG, i have never seen a Diamondback scope other than the Tactical FFP line made in China. They are all made in the Philippines. The FFP models are made in China.

Seriously where do you come up with all this?

WTS - Vortex Diamondback HP 4-16x42

I have a good condition Vortex Diamondback 4-16 HP scope with the Vortex Pro rings. Dead hold BDC MOA reticle. https://vortexoptics.com/vortex-pro-1-inch-rings.html This is a Philippines made scope with adjustable parallax. Moving to all 30mm tubes. Scope has usage marks but nothing that...

This one was just bought Aug 26th from MidwayUSA. I told the guy that Midway just got more in stock.

Burris Signature HD Rifle Scope 2022 Rebate

The Droptine series aren’t bad. I had one on my smokeless Encore for 2 years and it took a beating with no problems. That scope is now on my AR. Here’s my daughters buck from last muzzleloader season with the Droptine

Where do I come up with this?? Because it’s facts. Why would they make the tactical line in China but not the reg diamondback and they are less of a scope! The older models were made in phillipines along w the vipers.

Ok I stand corrected the reg diamondbacks are made in phillipines. My buddy sent me a pic of his. The razor hd binos are made in China now.

What was your issues? What have you gone to?

 

[amateurhourhunter]

yes. You should switch to something that works..... Vortex AND leupold dumped, here....

Why did you dump leupold? Who have you leaned towards now?

Pic are viper binos. If you zoom in says made in China.

 

[GMB54-120]

Might want to check new stock on binos. I heard Razors production was moved back to Japan and Vipers back to the Philippines.

 

[GMB54-120]

Same reason the Venom and Strike Eagle are made in China but a $500 Viper is made in the Philippines.

And actually the DB HPs are a limited distribution. They have been listed like that for many years. Every year MidwayUSA gets in the 3-12 and the 4-16 for around $200 on sale.
