I have a line in a NIB Nikon P223. Also looking at the Leupold Freedom line. Thoughts on which way to go?
 
I can't get over the made in China issue with Burris. Where are Trijicons made? That's a good looking deal.
 
I like the traditional look of Leupolds rather than the beer can look. Great deal though. Thanks for the link. I may jump on this.
 
Thanks for all the input here everyone. So, between that Burris or Trijicon what does everyone think?
 
I absolutely LOVE leupold scopes HOWEVER I find these days you are paying for the name more then the features unless you are getting into the Vx3 or Vx6 line and even the 3 lacks some things based on the cost of it. Their lower end like the freedom line are bare bones at this point but still cost a pretty penny. Thats not saying they are junk or anything as the glass on them is still pretty dang good.

I find the same thing but worse with Vortex and Nikon is a no go for me now that they no longer make them.

I do however really like what you get on the burris line especially once you get up in their HD series.
 
I've seen 4 Nikons fail, 3 Monarchs and a Prostaff, two on the first round fired. Between Nikon or Leupold, hand me the Leupold.
 
I just ordered it yesterday. Hope to get it by Saturday. I'll report when I get it. I'm not sure how soon I can get it on a rifle though. Happy Thanksgiving.
 
I have a new vortex viper 2.5-10x44 still in the box and plastic I am planning to sell. I just have and don't need. $325

I ended up buying one at that price, but haven't put it on a gun yet. When I do, I will compare to my Burris signature scopes and my Nikon Monarchs.

I really like mine.

I finally got mine mounted on the intended rifle-Ruger 77. As noted, it's a very high quality scope for the price with great glass. However, I can't get it back far enough to get it within the eye relief needed. I don't like offset rings, so it's a no go for me on this rifle. I'll probably go with a VX-3 3.5-10x40 at this point.

My Vortex VIPER 6.5-20X44 PA is very hard to get into proper eye relief position. My Leupold 6.5-20x40 VX-III LR is very easy which makes it much faster. To be fair though, the Leupold cost nearly twice what the Vortex cost.
