I have both. Albeit different powers. Vortex is a 4-16 power and the Sightron is a 10-50. Each serves it's intended purpose well (Vortex-Hunting and Steel/ Sightron- F/TR) the glass is better on the Sightron. It really depends on your intended use and features you want.

Get that 8-32X56 LRMOA reticle and you will LOVE it. Crank it up to check mirage for the long range stuff. Can't have to much power. 8X on the low end is fine in close. Got it on a 300RUM and have no regrets. But if you want lower power than 8 check out the Bushnell HDMR 3.5-21X50. Another fav. of mine that hangs out on a 6.5 gas gun.

Sightron is incredible "glass" for the money.

Sightron is starting to show up on some F-class Open guns, and also on some .50 BMG competitors.

That tells me something.

Got a 6-24x50 on my LR stick. Great scope. Beats my Leupy Mark 4 to pieces.

I didn't want to say it but you're right, plus that leupy might need a 20 MOA base just to make 1,000 yard hits with a .308. 100 MOA of elevation adjustment in the SIII 6-24-50. You have to move up to Nightforce to get better glass...
