Love Vortex and love that they have an option for whatever you need.

[@ronhimmelreich238]

I have a 1-8 Strike Eagle on a PSA. The combo was a great deal for the scope and mount!

[@darrellwiegand7926]

What do you think about the 1-8

[@darrellwiegand7926]

Currently I have sight mark red dot and mag not t the greatest I know but can’t afford eotech. Thinking about LPVO now

[@cassidybronson6891]

You had me at “up close and really hard”.

[@VortexOpticsUSA]

😂😂😂

[@adamuslignus]

Bwahahahha!

[@dpotter4898]

I have several Vortex products and all of them do a great job. Pistol optics, rifle optics and my range finder are very reliable and dependable. Great stuff all across the spectrum.

[@ronp4220]

I've been impressed with the level of quality of Vortex optics, especially at their price. That Edge looks especially slick!

[@ronbogart2144]

The choices and options here are awesome.

[@Bradley_c_405]

Love that vortex has multiple offerings for many uses & budgets

[@johnecrouch2671]

I'm not only impressed with Vortex optics. I'm also very impressed with their informational videos.

[@WoodsboyMike]

Does anyone agree that it would be a VERY good move for Vortex to add a Firedot BDC reticle to all of their Crossfire, Hog Hunter, and Diamondback scopes? I think it would make a one rife setup much more versatile by being able to use the BDC reticle for longer ranges during the day, without sacrificing the Firedot for early morning or late evening hunting. Here in SC, legal shooting light starts 1 hour before official sunrise and ends 1 hour after official sunset! That's exactly when all the big bucks are out and about! Please spread this idea. Maybe we will be able to get Vortex to make us the Firedot BDC! Thank you!

[@edeldridge36]

I've got several Vortex optics and will have more in the future.

[@Mac_Kuualoha]

Love the selection and just the fact that yall have such great glass available like this

[@jogo7973]

Not gonna lie had tons off issues with a lower budget vortex. I want to like them and will probably try a higher end scope if they make one for my needs, just haven't found it yet. My budget set up on 16in. IWI Zion is burris 2.5-10 illuminated dot, bdc under 12in length, capped turrets and under 16oz.With a 45 degree offset micro red dot. I absolutely love it.. Rugged as hell and no issues...

[@bgriffin1864]

I’m running a vortex viper on my AR 7.62 with a 10.5” barrel. It’s made for pistols, but it’s perfect for my compact rifle

[@SteveWauer]

Your products have been a game changer for me. I'm always looking for your stuff. I even put a vortex scope on my pellet gun. Lol

[@butchgreen5295]

Vortexx Optics have such great scopes, I love them.

[@harleydartez]

Vertex optics is my favorite guess I’m a fan boy you could say.

[@imgoatmunk7903]

I have both, and I just got the amg from you guys

[@DownRange556]

I actually picked up a Vortex UH-1 from Botach for under $500. Love it! Better than an Eotech in my opinion. I do want to try the Venom at some point.

[@marksanney2088]

I am a big fan of Vortex optics! 👍🏻🇺🇸🦅🇺🇸👍🏻

[@ErikMay-c3v]

Really like how the scope/sight view looked like

[@anarchyrun8253]

I have a 5x25 Venom, been very impressed, especially for the price point on a FFP. Very curious to check out the 1-6 Venom

[@djliquidsteele]

Love my Sparc Solar!

[@garystafford3354]

Both are great optics.

[@jono7626]

No mention of prism optics. Love the spitfire 3x

[@VortexOpticsUSA]

Our bad, that is a great option as well!

[@constablescoobs8003]

@@VortexOpticsUSA Have y’all used any of the Monstrum Prism optics I just picked up their 3x24mm marksman. For a guy with severe astigmatism it’s fantastic!

[@mojoegunner5115]

Definitely like my SE 1-8

[@dustinstephenson3593]

Most of my previous optic experience came from xbox, so this is nice...

[@tammybier8263]

Vortex has a lot of great products at reasonable prices.

[@xSlykiller]

On the Sparc Solar, would love if it would work for someone like me who’s in south Texas and our summers reach into the 100-115 degree range. I believe its operating temp only goes up to like 104~ iirc which is too risky for me to drop money on it even though I really really want it lmao.

[@LoganBates-c8m]

Love this set up!! Amazing product & I highly recommend!!

[@rayburton2934]

Like the compare and contrast

[@ghosting08ghost51]

What a very nice optics and for it to be less than 500. Not a bad deal

[@Mkronk07]

So many great options for the price point

[@Scootsblind]

Great info on the $500 price point.

[@jameshite257]

Just put one of each on my wish list

[@barrycody1454]

Vortex makes a great optic.

[@michaelhughes795]

Love Vortex glass

[@courtney_harris]

Wow, that red dot is pretty impressive.

[@Pato_yea]

One or both, can't go wrong

[@TheRonAustin]

I got your Strike Fire II as a budget deal from Palmetto State Armory. The optic with a mount and a case on the cheap, what's not to like. Love the thing except for the time it takes to switch on. I'd prefer an instant on/off switch.

[@daamericandude]

up close

[@l.r.5791]

Darn, the optics just keep getting better.

[@matthewfeuge8387]

I just convinced two people to buy your 1-8 lpvo I saw on sale.

[@NancyHull-k3s]

Perfect AR optics under $500

[@mikedrabandt4435]

Can’t go wrong with a Vortex

[@mobilejad6129]

Very nice scope!

[@merricktheobald8434]

Great product at an even better price

[@ktbird1869]

Vortex is always good stuff

[@thomassabat2772]

I own some vortex and love them

[@larrygrierson4241]

very informative and helpful

[@greglovett2269]

Love a company that makes a affordable optic for those I can’t

[@henrymoore9629]

Vortex rocks at attainable prices.

[@TurdWrangler_1]

I love the optics.I wish I could afford it

[@Pedosleepyjoe]

Nice work thanks Patriots

[@ervinthomas6917]

Something I'll have to check out next time I'm at my local range.

[@beefyhams]

great options

[@pippupaladin]

this is very important information since a lot of people who need firearms most can't afford to drop 4 figures on an optic alone

[@josephlapointejr4358]

Some very nice quality options

[@johna5181]

Many choices!

[@richardjtucker5662]

Cool scope!

[@mrjoshuayoder]

[@timmitchell4573]

Cool optic

[@williamobrien398]

Didn't know there were any under $500

[@mrbullsh1tter]

Great company and products

[@kevinpatrick1272]

Can't beat that vortex warranty

[@wheelchairboy65]

This is great because most of our gun's don't need the big boy's out there, we can get by with a lessor scope/optic and at a nice/good price.

[@VortexOpticsUSA]

Yes sir🙌🇺🇸🙌

[@kevinschultz1860]

Nice to have choices

[@murraychapman3958]

Well explained

[@Skipjacks1]
