I saw a lot of Vortex scopes on sale. Vortex has a devoted following. I cannot remember reading anything negative about Vortex. My only concern would be whether they have to be shipped out of country for repair. If reasonable repair turn around was assured, I'd buy Vortex.
I'm not plugging Optics Planet. However, it has always treated me fairly. It tries to price match. Their sales people have always been honest with me. If OP can't beat a price, its sales people will tell you the truth. I've been given price match and then discount offered. I've bought a lot of stuff from OP, and I've always have been happy.
When I find something I want to buy, I'll call an OP sales rep and ask for its lowest price. Its sales people haven't tried to hoodwink me. I usually get a reply like this, "I can sell you the scope you want of XYZ." XYZ price has always been lower than 'net price.
www.eurooptic.com is another excellent vendor. It also has a sale. Also, if you visit EO's site, check its demo/open box sales & its clearance section. EO will price match.
Both vendors have excellent customer service. I haven't had to return anything from either, but my guess is a no-hassle return policy.
I wish you the absolute best. I hope you find the perfect scope for your rifle at the absolute best price.
