Howbow Vortex?
PST's had problems left and right, Gen II's still do. Yes you're going to hear about more problems with these and there will be more problems by the number because there are so many out there... Guess what, the same goes for Leupold. Look how many MK4's are out there and how widely used they were and still are. Of course you're going to hear about more problems because so many scopes exist. Until fairly recently pretty much they options you had for LR optics were MK4, NF NXS, and then you got into the high end Euro's like S&B and Hensoldt. Each pricing tier pretty much doubled. You used to buy brand new MK4 3.5-10 M1's and M3's for as low as $600 for an American made optic, NF NXS started around $1200, and S&B $1800 or at the time.
Vortex's flagship optic still has it's share of failures and people love them. I personally won't touch one after my issues with gen 1 PST's and Razors and the issues I still see people having.
I'll take my chances with a company who has has some canted reticles or tracking issues to get reliability. Anyone who doesn't track test their optics are a little insane because they can all have parts out of spec. If it doesn't track, send it back to Leupold, they will fix it. I personally know of numerous occasions where people have done this and they came back tracking 100% in a very short turn around. Sending shit back to Vortex all the time is plenty acceptable by the communities standards, so what's wrong with sending an optic back to get fine tuned?
