First and foremost this scope has a very wide FOV or field of view. About 60feet at 2x. Very wide. There are some scopes that do not. Most 2x scopes have around 43 ft of view at 2x. This has everything to do with the focus lens or the Lens bell size, the nearest to your eye. The bigger the bell, the wider FOV. That’s a good thing. The only downfall to this is the bigger the rear bell, the less eye relief you will have. This is not a problem with pretty much anything that’s not a magnum. I have a Swift 2-7x40 on my 30-06 and never had a issue with it. So, just keep that in mind. Otherwise, the wide field 2x9 is the ultimate scope, O have easily taken deer from 14 yards all the way to 300 and everything in between. Sadly, this Vortex is one of the very few, maybe even just a couple of wide FOV scopes left. I don’t do any long range deer hunting over 300 yards, I have 3 deer rifles and two of them have 2-7 power, and one has an even wider 1.5-4.5 scope. For the woods and semi long shots, they just cannot be beat. This Vortex is clear and it has everything that all the other scopes in this price range have. Of course it holds zero, good low light capability, ect. Choose the type hunting you will do and then choose the correct rifle caliber and the correct scope. Read full review

Have only had this on a tripod so far , ( hunt in April ) It is clear and sharp right to the edge . Lined up on a magpie at about 80 metres , could have taken his eye out I reckon . The construction feels solid , adjustments have the right amount of friction , overall an excellent bit of kit that I am sure will be on the .243 for years to come. I almost went for a scope with ED glass but am now glad I kept the extra cash for new boots. Yet to try it in dawn or dusk conditions but I have no worries that it won't excel there as well.

I am a huge fan of Vortex scopes and I normally would never buy a used scope but I know that Vortex has the best warranty in the industry and this takes all the worry away. I have probably ten vortex scopes and I can tell you you will not find a more clear optic in this price range and I will probably never buy another brand of scope

Really a nice scope. Oscular Lens is on the big side, which eliminates that black shadow you get when your eye is not perfectly centered in lens. You might have to go up in size on your scope ring height like I had to, for my bolt handle would not clear the oscular bell. But well worth it, you don’t have to look around for the crosshairs. Adjust knobs are precise in both directions. My big game scopes are Swarovski’s, Kahles, and Leica. This Vortex is right there with them.

Absolutely clear and of great quality. More bulky than the leupold vx-1 but just as clear and easy to adjust. Eye relief is a little shy, but for a rimfire it’s fine.
