I won a 3-9X40 Diamondback from http://cameralandny.com/ and I'm happily surprised by the clarity and resolution of the optics. Definitely wasn't expecting that from a $200 scope. Will definitely look at Vortex when I make my next purchase.
Yes... I'm bias towards Vortex Optics.

My lowest end Vortex is a 4-12 Diamondback but I had a Crossfire too. Clarity on all of them is very good.
My only complaint is you lose view really quick if you aren't in line properly. Probably a good thing for parallax but can be a pain if you are in an odd position.
Thanks, I haven't mounted it on a rifle yet, but will keep that in mind when I begin using it.
I picked up a Strike Eagle 1-6 x 24 at a recent gun show to check it out. I was surprised how much barrel distortion it had. The target looked crisp, but panning the scope it appeared to be looking through a fish eye lens.
I then I picked up the new Strike Eagle 1-8 x 24 and it did not exhibit the same problem. I wish that I would have picked up the 1-8... It would go nicely with my other Vortex sights...
