It seems like a lot of people are parting with their vortex scopes lately, a lot of brand new ones for several hundreds of dollars under retail. Why the fire sale? I'm still waiting for my new one to be shipped.

Vortex, along with "all" the rest are "imported" (a few U.S. made optics left). Asia is the sole supplier of glass, namely China; even for the Germans. All pay for the name but all the components are basically the same. The coatings on the glass are what any pay for as this is where the costs lie. Vortex is overpriced , not offering anything any other name brand has already implemented. Leupold was not born yesterday.
Curious what you think is the best scope for the moneyThey're all the same, "only the 'coatings' on the glass differentiate the clarity. This is a continual game with all the manufacturers. The alleged new type of coatings are ancient history. The cost factor is what hinders the majority of scope makers to provide 'run of the mill glass' which is still excellent. This is nothing new. I'm unaware of the AMG and not really versed with the Vortex line and really could care less. If people actually believe all the hype, I truly feel sorry for them. The price of 6061 is the same for everyone, the price for glass is the same for everyone, the internal components are the same for everyone: "Except the coatings on the glass".

Wait, what?!? You think the cost of raw metal is what determines scope pricing? And that the only difference in glass is the coating?
I saw a thread on here about stupidest things you’ve been told.
You my friend... are a contender ?
If what you said is true, go ahead and build me one of those fancy Leupolds you are bragging about. Should cost you around $50 for the materials, lol
All experts, are we.
The bolt crowd are all dead and the remainder have delusions of grandeur.

I'll match anyone with my Leupold or Elite at 700 to 800 meters, even if they have March optics.
With SHOT happening soon folks may be getting ready for to buy the shiny new things!It seems like a lot of people are parting with their vortex scopes lately, a lot of brand new ones for several hundreds of dollars under retail. Why the fire sale? I'm still waiting for my new one to be shipped.

I'm a new guy here also, just trying to learn a whole bunch as quickly as possible. Just starting out, pulled up this thread to see how big of a mistake I made just buying a Vortex PST Gen 2 3-15x44 FFP to put on my 6.5.
Haven't had a chance to compare it to any other scopes as of yet, but so far so good. It is better than my Gen 1 FFP Vortex scopes so far.
