This is just one review I watched a few weeks ago when I was contemplating getting one. I've owned some of the cheaper Vector range and never stuck with them, I stick with what's tried and tested, but as with most mass produced stuff you're going to get lemons amongst them, if you've had no issues good for you... Your money your choice, I wouldn't want to chance it regardless of their warranty.
You get what you pay for. Non-Continental's are considerably lesser glass and build quality. I ran several Sentinel 10-40x50 for bench rest and was happy enough with them until I tried the Continental 6-48x56. I also ran a Veyron 4-16x44 IR FFP for LSR until one look through a Continental had me immediately making the switch, going through numerous Continental options before regrettably settling on the Steiner Ranger 4S 4-16x44 only as Vector sadly don't do anything of precisely the same spec.
If you had actually even looked through and handled a Continental you would think differently.

I bought a Hawke Vantage for my rimfire and it is cr** , the Endurance 30 I have had for years is a world apart although nothing like as good as the Continental.
Well, that review is entertaining to put it mildly, just not in a good way and an absolute waste of 16-minutes of life. Why would the presenter purchase a SFP scope and then complain he can't trust the graduations with changes in magnification. Of all the scopes Vector offer for long range shooting and he chooses the single one least suited to his purposes. He even attaches the three sun shades off the three different scopes and complains of 'the long sunshade'. He's either taking the p#@s or just looking to find issues for the sake of views. Absolute melt.

I've looked through continentals and yes the glass is good but it doesn't make me feel any better knowing that there is issues with QC.
The Chinese are great at making cheaper products but their qc leaves a lot to be desired. And they churn out so many products that they factor in lemons but it seems that there are more than necessary.
Again, if you want one then get one.
You have commented on something of which you have no personal experience and use a video that is questionable to be generous to attempt to support your non existent experience.
There is no QC issue with Vector Continental scopes and the evidence presented in the so called review smacks of being paid off by interested parties to attempt to smear an upcoming brand who can readily out compete the major brands on price.

I tell you what, considering you know so much about what I know and what I don't, do us a favour, you got the numbers for next weeks lottery?
So you do have first hand experience with the scope or don't you? Because to me that seems to be the releveant question....

Yes I've looked through a continental, I've already mentioned this.
It seems some people are getting bent out of shape because I've said something negative about a particular scope.
I've had nearly 60 scopes of all brands and price ranges over the years and I've never gotten defensive over a scope I own or owned at the time.
Truth of the matter is that most Chinese branded scopes fail, does it mean they're all crap? Nope, but to think that everyone leaving the factory is going to be 100% perfect is for the birds, if S&B, Khales, and the like have failures then Chinese branded scopes will too, it's that simple.
Looking thru something does not say much about quality and longevity. I don't have this scope, so I am not getting bent whatsoever. It just supprises me that you think that looking thru something and not using it for a certain period of time is enough to give judgement.

Looking through a scope says a lot for me, I know if optically it's going to work for me or not, same goes for reticle and turret travel.
I don't have to use a scope for a period of time to understand whether a particular manufacturer has faults within their range, as I mentioned in my previous post, I don't know of any manufacturer that hasn't had issues with some of their scopes, that's my whole point.
You do have to use a scope to judge, which you have not. Thanks for clarifying. Now everybody can sleep in peace again.....

just to wake you, I never once mentioned anything about using the scope in the first place, I mentioned that there have been known problems with the Continental line. Then some got bent out of shape for me having the audacity to mention such a thing as if it were some form of sacrilege. It isn't, it's a manufactured part that can and has failed. Now you can sleep in peace.
You can rant all you want, but you judged prematurely. Simple. Goodnight.

You think that was a rant?
And again proving you just moving air trying to look tough. What are you, 12?You think that was a rant?
I'll act my age and stop this useless discussion. You have no experience, thats been made clear, so no point polluting this topic with more nonsense.
