VortexLIVE: Tour of Vortex Optics Manufacturing Facility

[@marnar06]

Best optics and customer service in the industry.

[@VortexOpticsUSA]

🤜🤛

[@silentbob7984]

Vortex rocks. I have a Vortex HD spotting scope and 5 Vortex rifle scopes. So happy with all of them, and very pleased to see that Vortex has the integrity that so few companies do. Thank you Vortex, you make my range days so much better.

[@Thecohostobviouzx]

Just bought a Ruger Precision Rifle, having been a small bore competitor for years decided to start getting into long range. Sadly couldn't afford the amazing AMG, so got the diamondback tactical. Noticed on first range and sighting the my zero rings were loose, called Vortex and it was back in my hands fixed in under a week. Say what you want about the amount of defects with customer service like theirs you can't beat these Optics. Glad to hear they are making the AMG's in the USA! Thanks Vortex!

[@morbidangel47]

Shining example of a business being run the right way. Wonderfully constructed premium products made by equally great people backed with a warranty that most people would have a hard time believing. Never change, Vortex.

[@VortexOpticsUSA]

Thank you very much! We appreciate the good word

[@MrAtaripitbull]

Bought my first Vortex Viper HS-LR for my 30-06 last year and have fallen in love. My next rifle project will have another Vortex scope as well. Keep up the good work.

[@VortexOpticsUSA]

Thank you for using Vortex and for the good word!

[@CarlosHernandez-bw4nw]

All my firearms have Vortex scopes on, my latest purchase a RPR in 338 Lapua is wearing a Viper PST Gen 11, love these scopes and their VIP warranty

[@VortexOpticsUSA]

That's awesome! We're glad to you have you be apart of Vortex Nation!

What a cool facility. And you guys use solidworks! Holy crap. I'm so glad matt@demoranch constantly reps your gear otherwise I don't think I would've bought my first optic from you guys. Couldn't be happier with purchasing from Vortex!

[@MorieldeCaelum]

Working in Executive Protection there are very few companies that I trust. For ranged optics and binos I only use Vortex, anything up close and personal is Trijicon

[@smooth1203]

Just bought my first vortex scope. Only heard great reviews about you guys.

[@shramj]

Makes me proud watching this, I just ordered my first Vortex rifle scope.

[@5throwdown]

Pretty sure the AMG line is the only line of Vortex products made in America. I could be wrong but pretty sure I am right and if that's the case I would not be too proud of Vortex..to my knowledge, most of their products are made over seas in China and Japan.

[@virtuaguyverify]

My Vortex Viper says Philippines. I have a few Vortex scopes and never had an issue til now. Its not holding zero and going to send it in. Also gives a chance to test their warranty and service. I've only heard good things so we'll see if my next scope will also be a Vortex.

[@popswrench2]

lightening , 2 monoculars , crossfire shotgun scope and mini bino somewhere :) gonna order another crossfire or equivalent for muzzleloader as well ... love them optics

Would be cool to see your overseas facilities too! like the Philippines. Maybe not now, but one day

[@GorhamWorks]

Thanks for doing the videos! Idea, a video of What not do with your scope? Afterwards the repair room is around the corner you can show how they get fixed. I've got a monocular, crossfire, and viper pst ffp. Hands down customer for life! They don't live an easy life. They go out in the woods, get banged around and hold up very well. One day I'll be cool enough to have an AMG. Looking forward to it.

[@eduardorgm7349]

Awesome info, thanks for sharing

[@TrinityHealth215]

Everything I own by Vortex says "Made In China" on it. Hopefully they start to make all the parts here now and keep the price in on balance with current prices as well as with paying the American employees competitive wages. I can't wait to get the Razor! I love Vortex everything!

[@wilberthreehundred6402]

Yep the “”made in China “is why I wouldn’t want one…

[@grifion8267]

What is the base price of manufacturing these scopes and how do u get optics ! Do u make your own optics lense or do u resource it from somewhere else??

[@semiauto3148]

Are vortex spotting scopes made in America ?

[@p47rr]

Have a PST viper, HST viper and a PA viper on order. Great scopes for the money. And simply the best service department. Bought these after Weaver and Millett wouldn’t honor their so called warranties.

[@daveandcindy6522]

cool video just ordered my Viper PST Gen 2. opticsplanet told me between 4 and 6 months. because they have so many orders which I think is a sign of a good product. but it sucks waiting lol keep up the good work can't wait to get mine.

[@VortexOpticsUSA]

Thanks for your business +Dave And Cindy!

[@5throwdown]

@vortexoptics Why aren't the rest of Vortex products made in the same facility here in America? Is the Razor AMG the only line of products made in America?

[@VortexOpticsUSA]

Truth be told we'd love to manufacture every single product right here, but that's just not realistic to do. Our products run the gamut from entry level to ultra high end (like the Razor AMG here, for instance). To make a scope like the Crossfire II, for example, which might go for around $150 right now, here in our facility would raise the price astronomically well beyond what anyone would be willing to spend on an entry level scope and well beyond what the competition is selling similar scopes for. There's an incredible amount of machinery, tooling and other equipment needed to make even just the Razor AMG talked about in this video and that's a really high end product at relatively low volumes to a more entry level scope. To do what would be necessary to do it all in house wouldn't be feasible, and just to wind up getting the same quality products for incredibly higher prices wouldn't be a smart move to make. Our Razor AMG is one of, if not "The", most American-made riflescope on the market right now and is done in-house. The Razor AMG UH-1 holographic sight is made in the USA with a reticle element from the UK. Our Razor HD Gen II long range riflescopes are made in Japan with some parts made and final-installed here in-house. Other optical products may also be made in Japan, Philippines, or China. The physical location a product is made should be far less of a concern than the company behind the product that actually does the development, engineering testing, inspection, handling, and service for the product. Any place is capable of making good products, just like any place is capable of making bad products - what matters is the specs, tolerances, procedures, and people responsible for making sure the product comes out exactly the way it's supposed to. There are nearly 300 full-time employees here at Vortex in Barneveld, WI whose job it is to make sure the entire customer experience - especially the product - is absolutely as excellent as it possibly can be.

[@atmoody4608]

Vortex Optics it would be nice if you guys could figure something out, i love my vortex but it’s the only part on my rifle not made in the US and I was kinda under the idea it was when i purchased it and i would of paid more for one that was especially from you guys.

[@BigBearCarolina1]

I also run a Zeiss. Let's work on getting some Okumas in your shop! 😁

[@Bill-qc4yd]

Thought a lot of Vortex with their warranty, reputation and prices until I bought several scopes. My oldest son has a Razor HD Gen II scope top of the line. Had to go back as the crosshairs weren't true to the adjustment knobs. Next my youngest son has a Viper HST that had to go back as it wasn't tracking. I have a Crossfire II for a deer hunting rifle. Had the dealer install it professionally, while sighting it in noticed black specks on the lense. Turns out the internal paint or coating had come off and was resting on the glass. Sent it back to factory, was returned but the illuminated red dot was barely visible on the highest setting. Factory says that's normal. I have gotten rid of all my Vortex scopes but the Crossfire II as it was an advertised special and really cheap. My boys and I are now into long range shooting and currently spending money on quality optics. For daily shooters or shorter range weapons where top quality isn't required, I suggest Primary Arms where you will save money and get mid range quality scopes (with more features and variety) backed with a guarantee.

[@VortexOpticsUSA]

Bill 92869 That’s really brutal to hear and at this point it seems like there’s really not much we can do to make it up to you being that you’ve gone elsewhere.

[@madmacc040]

Absolutely no gripes about the AMG. I've had it since July'ish. but the "tool" began showing wear after removing the caps a few times. I had posed this issue and suggested possibly switching from plastic to micarta. Is/was there any action taken on this issue and or my suggestion? Marvelous work on the AMG gentlemen. Out'f'in'standing.

Is this the first North American / USA made scope for vortex?? all my vortex optics are "made in the Philippines" you guys have a great warranty which I have sadly had to use (2 weeks lost time in deer season). I would feel a lot better in the future knowing more of your products are made in the states. Keep it up!

[@VortexOpticsUSA]

+Mike Barrie - While all of our scopes are designed, engineered, and inspected in the US, this is the first one that is 100% built here. We do a lot of our manufacturing overseas, but with a lot of demand for a scope like the AMG, we knew that we would need to build it in house completely. We're sorry about the issue but glad the warranty covered it for you! -RJ

[@GriffinArmamentOfficial]

[@VortexOpticsUSA]

Thanks guys!

[@daniellaverty1359]

I was unaware that glass is ground and polished in the US now.. wondering how it compares to Japanese or German glass.. also wondering what parts in these optics are outsourced.. I’m not familiar with their HD models, but seems like everyone I know at the range that runs a razor keeps Vortex customer service in their phone.. have had several people tell me their optics spend more time in the mail than on their rifles.. common sense that the warranty is included in the price, but I have to wonder how much of the price is the warranty. Personally I feel that Vortex has gone from quality to quantity.. I’m still running a gen 1 Viper PST and wouldn’t trade it for a gen 2.. which brings me back to what’s outsourced. What parts are from China.

[@VortexOpticsUSA]

On occasion we've had people who have repeat issues coming in for service, but if we see that happen, most of the time we're doing extensive testing on our own range with their scope to determine where the issue lies and in a large majority of cases, it's somewhere in the mounts or the rifle. Yes, we've had scopes that have had issues in the past that are manufacturer defect, but there's a lot of variables that go into the shooting equation, yet generally only one that gets pointed to as the main issue, which is the optic. Return rates for warranty products are generally at less than a percent of the optics that actually go out the door, ratio certainly hasn't increased since your PST Gen I. The amount of optics we've sold has continued to increase, so the same percent of a larger sample size will be a greater number, but it all needs to be put into perspective. As for where parts are sourced from, that's getting into pretty proprietary information - you probably won't see many people giving that information out to be honest. Some are going to come from China, yes, and some from other places. To think Vortex is the only one doing that would be very much incorrect - and that's across the board with all optics manufacturers. The company behind the product and its development, engineering, tolerances, testing, inspection, service, etc is what really matters and while we might not get a 100% every single time, there's about 300 people here in Barneveld WI that try and make it as close to perfect every time as we can.

[@ParadigmUnkn0wn]

So with the similarity between some of the features of the VIper PST Gen II line and the Razor HD, are there any US made parts of the Viper line or is it basically a clone made in the Philippines? I have the Viper PST Gen II 1-6x with the MRAD reticle, and I love it. It does everything I need it to and to me it's a perfect balance of price and quality for a rifle that I only shoot to 500yds, and mostly in the 10-100yd range. It's the best scope I've ran in 3 gun competition and I wouldn't trade it for anything... other than a Razor.

[@VortexOpticsUSA]

It's difficult to say exactly where all the parts that make up the scope are sourced from, but keep in mind we hold all of our optics to very high tolerances, so regardless of where it was manufactured, you can rest assured that it meets our standards before it gets in your hands.

[@brians.5690]

Do you plan to start manufacturing more models here in the good O USA?? I have a DiamondBack HP 4-16×42 and i was disappointed to see made in the Philippines on it!

[@Chuzado_117]

B. STEELE I got the crossfire II 3-9x40 and it said it was made in China... little disappointed on that after I bought it but oh well

[@brians.5690]

20bulletproof10 yeah it's kinda misleading! You always here vortex being promoted as an American company then you get your $300 or $400 scope and it says made in China or Philippines!! But yeah o well as long as it's guaranteed for life I'm happy

[@Chuzado_117]

B. STEELE yeah true... I tried mine like twice since I barely got it like 2 months ago and it's good and all but idk if I should keep it and sell my other Nikon or sell it and keep the Nikon... I only ended up paying 100$ for it since it was at 150 but with a free 50$ gift card you get back I couldn't say no

[@brians.5690]

If it was me I would keep the vortex just because of the warranty. Especially if both Scopes are at the same magnification.

[@russr]

depends, do you want to pay 2 or 3x more for that scope?

[@godofm3tal1]

Seeing as how your top of the line razor hd amg is the only product you make in the USA i think it would have been more pertinent to show your Chinese facility as a showing of how your products are made seeing as how those are what you sell the most of and consequently what most of your customers actually have. i know you never really said you produced all of your products in the USA but the theme of this video would lead the uninitiated to believe, unless they're paying attention, that this little factory you got going on here is where their product was made. I know speaking for myself at least id like to see that facility and how the actual super majority of your product line is made.

[@amadogarza9603]

Thanks

[@vt4888]

The recticle on the amg is made overseas. Why?

[@VortexOpticsUSA]

Correct - the reticle in the AMG is made in Germany. The primary reason for this is volume - there are very few reticles actually made in the USA as it is a very intensive and actually hazardous/potentially dangerous process of manufacture. We have found a partner in Germany that has the volume we need, makes the quality we require and already had the infrastructure set up to make reticles. Hope this helps! - Jimmy H [e-mail]

[@vt4888]

Vortex Optics How is it "hazardous"? Vortex is not capable of this part at home at reasonable cost?

[@VortexOpticsUSA]

Correct. Etching glass reticles is not simply a matter of putting lines on glass... Well - It is... But the process of putting those fine markings onto glass is potentially extremely hazardous. The chemicals used to properly etch the glass reticles and fill with the necessary compounds for illumination are extremely dangerous. Setting up a reticle making operation is nothing to be taken lightly, and if you really wanted to do it in a way that wouldn't potentially shut down your entire operation if anything ever went wrong, you'd probably want to build an entire new facility just for making reticles and it would require significant amounts of safety equipment. Can it be done? Certainly, but right now it's just not feasible as the costs would be very high (Which would be translated to our customers) and well-established reticle makers already exist elsewhere - like Germany where we are getting the reticles for the AMG.

I recently purchased a new pair of Vortex Razor 12x50 binoculars. Upon inspection of them I found they are made in China, I have to say the quality is great but it is sad that a $1000 pair of binoculars are imported from China!

[@VortexOpticsUSA]

Hey Andrew - first off, thanks for choosing Vortex! Glad to hear that you are enjoying the quality of your Razors. We understand that there does seem to be a negative stigma around optics with a China badge, and can assure you that we wouldn't have our flagship binoculars made there without thoroughly vetting the quality of manufacture from the factory. Quality and value for the money - at any price point - are our top priority and when it comes to products made out-of-house (Which essentially all binoculars are, being that very few, if any at all, are made in the USA) We'll work closely with the factory that can produce the best product for the best value that our customers can afford and with enough volume that we can avoid backorder problems. In order to truly get the best product possible for you, we need to remove the country of origin and any preconceptions about those countries from the equation. After all - any factory in any country is perfectly capable of making an inferior or superior product! Hope this helps. Thank you again for using Vortex! Let us know if you have any questions at all - Jimmy H [e-mail]

[@popswrench2]

Vortex Optics also cost "lost wax" process . A.M.T. sharon springs ny i did some off hours maintenance . very accurate near finish small parts . might be worth a talk with owner Lonny Brendel . impressive . build wax mold of part , ceramic coat a "tree" of blanks , melt wax out , pour in metal , pick out near finished part . short of it . from military & expensive golf club heads to race engine parts

[@VortexOpticsUSA]

That's awesome! Thanks for the info! -RJ

[@captainhiltz73]

pops wrench No, cast aluminum parts would not be as tightly controlled as CNC machined parts and typically require post cast machining, surface treatment and polishing anyway in an application like this. The "tree" you speak of is called a "gate". Cast components also require additional NDT inspection such as X-ray to check for internal cracking and imperfections.

Vortex used to make a pretty solid optic. Now, they're just junk. Constantly have to use their warranty, and you're the one that fronts the bill on that. No thanks. Go with Arken if you aren't looking for a specific reticle, or locking turrets. They can't be beat for the price. Vortex isn't what they used to be.
