fair. I wonder how many uk shops stock Vortex. I’ve not seen it listed locally to meWhen I was shopping for a scope I was always told the amercan made glass isn't as good for the light conditions we have over here but that's all rumours. I've a pair of vortex Binos and my mate has a vortex scope and they are both fantastic glass. Can't complain at all about them.
I think it's a bit of snobbery. If you don't have Swaros or a Schmidt and Bender then you're not a real hunter.
