Bushnell or Vortex

I've had lots of Bushnell products over the years, and only a couple of items from Vortex...and yet I've had almost the same total number of warranty issues with both companies! Bushnell always fixed or replaced the item, no questions asked, and even replaced a decades-old, entry-level scope with a brand-new higher-grade product right over the counter (this was back when I lived in Onterrible and was able to conveniently take the scopes in to the warranty centre). Vortex has repaired...and re-repaired...and then re-re-repaired...and then finally replaced both of the two products I purchased from them.

I would never spend another dime on Vortex.
 
I would not consider ANYTHING in the vortex line below the Viper. The Viper is enough of a gamble on quality without trying the lower end stuff. I have owned a dozen Elites 3200/4200 and not encountered any issues. Like 75% of Vortex customers, I have used their warranty and found them very accommodating, but would not reccomend
 
Bushnell. Had a problem with an Elite 3200 and even without receipt or proof of purchase they immediately replaced it with an upgraded scope. No problems since.
