The Vortex is temporary. Not sure which upper end glass I will get yet. Need to recover from the build before I polish it up with the final glass.
Can't speak for long term reliability and durability, but the glass is decent. Has some slight nuances to my eyes up at full power though. Test view at night, 150 yds out, with a Streamlight TLR-1HPL, I have no problems using the scope. I could easily identify a coyote, the surroundings, the background, and feel safe about feeding it a lead dinner smothered in copper jacket.
Almost forgot, pic proof or it didn't happen....
