## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good scope for the money
*by K***S on January 5, 2026*

Good scope. Good lighting. Can’t beat it for the price

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Clear and well made
*by B***H on January 8, 2026*

Well made, very clear, can’t go wrong.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding
*by M***W on October 4, 2025*

This is as fine a scope as any, especially at this price. Clarity is good, end to end. Adjustments are smooth and spot on. I’ve a number of vortex products and their warranty is far better than any other scope manufacturer. I’ve Leupold products as well as Burris. Again, product reliability and warranty on vortex products is outstanding in comparison to the aforementioned manufacturers.
