Vortex as I have heard has a great warranty. But night force may just be better quality. Not sure about n f warranty, as I haven't heard much.

I have a plethora of optics from super cheap to fairly expensive. Middle of the range sits my pair of EoTech Vudu 3.5-18x50s. One In SFP one In FFP. They don't have everything my higher end scopes have, but every time I slap one on a rifle and take a look throug, it just feels great. Their overall design is great, reticles are good, glass is excellent. Definitely my favourite.
2nd place likely goes to my Burris Veracity 3-15. Burris has a load of reticles that I love for a hunting rifle. The Veracity just works so well for what its made for. I would mind better glass and different turrets and other features (who wouldn't), but it fills it's role very well.
3rd likely goes to my Apex Rival 4-32x56. Bought it for a competition scope, it has never let me down, reticle is great, glass is great. Easily one of my favorites.

I agree on the Vudu. It just feels nice to use. The glass is clear, the reticle works. It’s a great LPVO.
I’ve got the 1-6 FFP with the SR-2 7.62 BDC reticle and it’s a solid shooter.

I should add that Apex is also a Canadian owned company.

Totally forgot about my Trijicon Accupoiny 2.5-10x56. Also an awesome optic. The full time fibreoptic illumination makes it such an easy optic to just point and shoot. It commonly lives on one of my coyote rifles. Quick and easy optic for a quick target. Also easily one of my favorites.

The BelOMO po 3.5x21p. A 2.2 lb Belarusian brute that even Colin Noir praised while using it haha. Ive only used it for a limited time on a real firearm. The only complaint i had being that it felt too big for the gun. BUT if I ever owned a real AK or Valmet someday. This optic most certainly would be going on it. It currently spends most of its life on an airsoft gun.
For those wondering what the draw is. Its novelty mainly, but at the same time 3.5 power is a VERY diverse magnification and this optic pairs that with unparalleled FOV. The illuminated reticle is super intuitive, has an SVD styled optical rangefinder. Capped turrets with the adjustment tool built into the turret caps. Like most AK optics it is a side mount, ready to mount right out of the box, no need for rings and its quick detach as well. The optic even sits over the bore axis, unlike most SVD scopes. The entire package could be had for under 600 cad before the war broke out!

In my dreams: a Vortex Viper PST gen3 using their Viper HD Glass.
In reality; Razor HD Gen 3 6-36x56.
Honoroable mention; My first scope, Nikon Prostaff 5. Honestly i still think of what could have been if Nikon never dropped out of the riflescope market.

my best friend use to have a razor gen3 6-36x56! good quality Japanese glass! the only negative thing id say about it is its a bit heavy comparing to my Steiner!
no experience with the viper but you just can't go wrong with Vortex's costumer service and warranty!

griffin mil G2 reticle
I quite like my 1-10x28SLX with the Griffin M10s, because PLX is beyond my wallet. Griffin in general slaps.

Sweet rig!
What's the thought process behind the DBAL on the dive board? Fast coarse acquisition before switching to glass?
I know most of the WMLRFs on the market have vis and/or IR lasers integrated so it's not a new concept, but just interested in your 2cents!

Damn, feeling like a Fudd for being the first one that runs exclusively Leupold. I may go with a Nightforce if I ever build a long range rig. Primary Arms has insta-influenced some buy curiosity from me lately as well
