I 100% agree the Vortex is not the quality of the $750 Aimpoint no doubt there .
I haven't had any issues with mine and I've ran it on my KAC SR15 MOD2 for 300 rounds
Then swapped it on my 308 to give it a work out with the felt recoil of the 308 as you may or may not know the KAC SR15 MOD2 are amazingly SOFT !!! So moving it to the 308 was IMHO a good work out for it . Last week I ran 3 mags with same amo and 1 new paper target with every mag change with the Vortex and then I did the same thing with the Aimpoint .
1 with my KAC ( aim vs vor)
1 with my 308 ( vor vs aim)
And I'm happy to say I got same MOA at 50 and at 100 yrds
Now I did notice at different levels of daylight/darkness they are just a little different .
I'd say the Aimpoint had a cleaner dot in really bright sun and the vortex had a cleaner dot in cloudy sky's light .
Both were amazing at dusk
Both held 0 dead nuts
But the Aimpoints glass IMHO is a little better in certain light .
I will say the Vortex IMHO was damn well worth the $189!
But yes your right it's not a Aimpoint but is it worth the extra $550 that's a decision only the man forking over his hard earn bucks can say lolo .
I'll tell ya this tho , if one of my friends ask me for a RDoptic recommendation I wouldn't hesitate one second in recommending the Sprac2 . Id tell him 1st that if he has the $ and the $ wasn't a issues to get Aimpoint and maybe offer to let him try both of mine and let he or she make there own choice .
Good post tho and good luck to all
