Looks like Vortex has some nice new offerings for 2018:

Jesus christ those ads are killer! How are you supposed to read something when the page keeps moving cause it takes an hour to load all the ads then when its done the pop ups start, click the x 30 seconds later another one comes up.

I recommend downloading 'Brave' browser, it's built-in ad killer really helps with sites like that one.
 
Ghostery and AdBlocker add-ons are a must have for any of today's browers. :p

Hmm, might pickup a Crossfire 2 RDS when it comes out. Was gonna get the Sig version but not sure how well their warranty holds up.
 
They look like nice additions to the current lineup, especially the lightened-up Razor 1-6. If it is still as robust as the previous model this will become the go-to premium LPV (if it isn't already)
 
Lighter version of the Razor HD....sounds good, but still seems on the heavy side. Still over 20 oz and ideally it would be around 15oz.

Trade off between tank like strength and weight though
 
I'm quite excited to see that they've also got two new Strike Eagles coming out in 2018. A 4-24 × 50 and a 3-18 × 44. Both have the EBR-4 reticle. Can't wait to hear feedback on these.
 
In american forums you hear very little of defective scopes in the razor lineup.
The same cannot be said of all their other line ups.

I had a Razor gen 2 1-6 shift zeros on me twice with what I would cal "light" bumps(typical 3gun dumps and dry fire dumps onto tables, thrown into barrels, etc) while it was mounted in a Geissele mount. Switched to a Kalhes k16i and haven't had a issue again. Just my experience, it was in the second season of this that I started having the issues.

ETA: Vortex has a strong marketing game and customer service but as far as the optics go I think there are better options for the same money, example: primary arms, etc.

this.. it never ceases to amaze me that people like to quote the great experiences they or others have had with Vortex warranty. That should be sign right there. It's no different than people trying to buy IOR products in Canada but ignore the stories from the dealers in Canada (or even south of the border) that carried that crap.

Yep, agree 100% No more Vortex for me. EE.
