Any reviews/opinions on Sitemark or Vortex optics...

I found one of these locally for 139$. Just wondering if they are any good, mediocre or garbage?

Sightmark Triple Duty 2.5-10x32 CDX Riflescope Illuminated Reticle. I really like the plain simple reticle. Was looking to put it a Integrally suppressed 10/22. And maybe one on a 300 blackout Iam building. Any thoughts...

No.

 

[texas skeeter]

No.

LOL!! NO they are crap or No you have no opinion?

I am not a scope snob but that is way too many features for way too cheap a price.

An integrally suppressed 10/22? You can afford that then get yourself a decent scope man.

They sell for 180-220$ on Feebay. It just happens a shop close by has a NIB that has been sitting for a few months and offered it to me. Due to a new line he is bringing in...

OK what other brand would you suggest as Iam not scope saavy. I do like a plain Jane Illuminated reticle though...

Leopold, some Nikon, Weaver, Burris.

Maybe someone will chime in and say they are the best deal out there.

Ok thread making right turn. How about thoughts on Vortex Crossfire II's?

 

[Byrd666]

Yeah, but, for a buck thirty nine, that might be a sleeper of a deal. I don't know anything about scopes or optics myself, so take that with a BIG grain of salt.

Im not saying buy a Zeiss or go home...just saying that is awful cheap for an adjustable power illuminated scope.

Vortex makes great optics.

Only experience with sightmark is with a magnifier and it's ok but not great. I wasn't going to spend eotech money though. Lot more to a scope than a magnifier.

I would imaging the glass clarity will be extremely lacking and it probably won't track well or take much abuse.

Vortex has different lines. Id say some of theirs are great but not universally so.

Ill back off a bit. Thought we were looking at a $139 scope. I see it is more of a $200ish scope. It has 4/5 stars on Amazon/Opticsplanet seemingly although I dont see this exact model.

Like I said im not a gun or scope elitist. How much is a integrally suppressed 10/22? $1000? For $250/$300 you could get a much nicer scope.

But...buy it and you may be entirely happy with it as many apparently are.

Here's the Crossfire I was also looking at. I had no knowledge of the Sitemark brand so figured folks here could shed some insight.

I havent bought much on eBay. Watch out for fakes right? I know that is an issue with Aimpoint/Eotech

 

[texas skeeter]

I'm done pretty good with Ebay. I'll find what I want and make sure it's a Seller with long standing, Plenty and good feedback and usually a store that's selling the item. If it's a kid with 3 feedback and he's selling a 500$ Eotech for 125$, I just laugh.... But Yes there's a lot of fakes on Ebay...

If you buy the scope please post a review on it. Also run it over with your truck to test it.
