Thank you for your kind words

It is so easy to represent Vortex,,,dont have to say a word, just hand guys/gals the binocualrs and they speak for themselves....

Vortex pledges this Very Important Promise to you, a Very Important Person, and that's why we call it the VIP warranty. In the event that your Vortex product requires service, no matter the cause, Vortex Optics will repair or replace the product at no charge to you.

I dont think you can beat that for customer service!!

poorman · 01-02-2009, 05:19 PM

I would like to be this guy...Using these great optics

wildfan99 · 01-02-2009, 05:43 PM

I have heard & read nothing but good things about Vortex. Customer service is huge now a days, & I hear they do great!

Next binocular purchase, Vortex will certainly be an option.

Vortex are becoming well known here in Australia, A friend of mine brought a Vortex spotting scope (that he was sponsored with) over, to compare with my Leica Spotting scope, we sat them side by side on tripods. we were both amazed how close they were in clarity.

TheRev · 01-02-2009, 06:23 PM

I was impressed by the product line on Vortex on their website. I would like to see a quality Crossbow multi-reticle scope in a 2 or 3 power.

My father bought a pair, which he dropped and broke. The service center was great, all he paid was the shipping. I bought him the bino straps for X-mas.

Arrow · 01-02-2009, 09:02 PM

The last year, Vortex donated 2 pairs of binoculars to our club to raffle. No one was disappointed in the prizes.

My brother and I used his new Vortex skyline scope on a mule deer hunt in September and absolutely LOVED it. He could have easily afforded to purchase whatever glass he wanted but the Vortex reputation for customer service and their VIP warranty are what convinced him to go with Vortex.

Paul S. · 01-02-2009, 09:19 PM

I have some friends that say they are awesome Binos...I'd like to find out for myself.

tking · 01-02-2009, 09:20 PM

I'd like to see vortex come up with some quality lens covers for thier scopes. I have a diamondback scope and love it but I'm not fond of the covers that came with it.

poorman · 01-02-2009, 09:26 PM

I wouldnt mind trying one of these either..

azleonhart · 01-02-2009, 10:24 PM

Have you ever sent your mangled, or damaged gear for a warranty claim, only to find out that a hundred questions turn up at ur e-mail inbox, and delayed/slow shipping? With Vortex Optics, that ain't gonna happen to you, son.. My buddy who owned the Hurricane Compact 10 x 28 sent his back to Vortex Optics, due to a small glitch in the lens adjuster. Guess what? Vortex Optics shipped the baby to him, in about a week, BRAND NEW, and the best part of all, no QUESTIONS ASKED! I felt satisfied with the customer service, even though I am yet to use a Vortex Fury binoculars..

may THE FORCE OF OPTICS be with you!

Mike Atwell · 01-03-2009, 12:12 AM

I've been using lesser quality binoculars for years. I never could convince myself to spend the extra hundred or two to step up to better glass. A while back, I had the chance to view a buddy's Vortex binos. I'm not sure which model they were, but I'd have swapped him the six or seven sets I own, along with a spotting scope for what he had.

PICK ME!

woodsman78 · 01-03-2009, 04:22 AM

I was shooting a team 3D shoot last summer , we came to a black bear target that was tucked back into the shadows I was using my leupold pinnacles which I thought were pretty good binos I could not pic up the rings on that target to save my butt my partner Les had a pair of the vortex furys he handed me said try these man those rings came right out of the target well needless to say, Vortex is on my wish list and my pinnicules are up for sale

poorman · 01-03-2009, 05:54 AM

just from this thread alone, I have heard nothing but good things about the product and the customer service. Sounds like a great company to deal with!

Babooze · 01-03-2009, 06:55 AM

I bought a pair of 8x32 Lightnings about 2 months ago. While the product is truly outstanding the lens covers were defective. I wrote them asking where I could purchase a different pair and a few days later, a brand new pair of lens covers were sitting on my desk at no charge. If you want better Customer Service than that, you are impossible to please. They earned a lifetime customer here!

Challenger · 01-03-2009, 08:09 AM

I got mine in August and I love them!!!

nstrut · 01-03-2009, 09:45 AM

I could also post some cool in the field pics, but I'd rather post a real life scenario that just recently happened and how things unfolded.

I had taken my Vortex binoculars on a hunt with me in very nasty,cold, and rainy conditions. When I returned from the hunt, I noticed water condensing under the lens inside the barrel.

Well, I ended up sending my binoculars to Vortex Friday, December 05, 2008.

I included a note stating that I was going on a vaction starting December 22nd and if at all possible, I'd like to have them back by that date. I included that I would gladly pay the shipping back to me to expedite them quickly.

Last evening, the UPS man shows up at the door with a package from Vortex. Inside I find a brand new pair of binoculars as a replacement, no questions asked!

I have never been so impressed with a warranty and Customer Service!

You have to realize that I had my situation resolved and new binoculars in hand in less than a week!!! That is unheard of!

I e-mailed Tim Austin to let him know how pleased I was and he quickly followed up and made sure to let me know that if I ever needed anything else, just to let them know.

They now have a customer for life!

I make sure I spread the word about Vortex every chance I get.

I can't wait until a Vortex rangefinder is finally unveiled!

Thanks for letting me share my experience!

If there was anything that i wanted, a fresh, new product from Vortex Optics, it would be a rangefinder, intergrated into the spotting scope.. this really helps us to determine the actual distance of the target, and besides, who'd better to do the job other than Vortex Optics?

Twinsfan · 01-03-2009, 11:11 AM

i love my 10x42 and could really use a pair of 10x50 for those hunts out in the badlands. thanks for such a great contest.

hoggin03 · 01-03-2009, 12:08 PM

I have a set of 12x50 Vultures. Since replacing my old binos with them, it's like getting a new set of eyes. They are great!

scrub buck · 01-03-2009, 05:05 PM

Would like to see a rangefinder/bino combo for bow hunting yardages.

poorman · 01-03-2009, 06:16 PM

I 2nd the rangefinder idea. Compact and accurate.

mathewsfan · 01-03-2009, 07:20 PM

something with a builtin rangefinder, similar to the Leica Geovid but able to be used with the right hand only.

easton94 · 01-03-2009, 07:51 PM

Very cool, glad to see Vortex posting up such a great contest!! I have not had personal experience with Vortex but I've hear tons of good things about the products!! '94

jdawg240 · 01-03-2009, 08:30 PM

Ive been looking at a new high quality pair of optics and Vortex are at the top of my list. My good freand bought a spotting scope this summer and we are very impressed with the overall qaulity and performance of the product.

wekilldeer · 01-04-2009, 06:00 AM

I have many vortex products. For the money they cant be beat!!! On top of that they have the best customer service that I have ever dealt with. The people are soooo friendly and helpful. I am a true Vortex fan and I hope that someday they will offer a rangefinder Bino, that would be the only thing that will make me give up my Razors Thank you Vortex!!

clar 6 · 01-04-2009, 09:43 AM

I have a pair of Vortex Diamondbacks, my shooting buddy tries to take them and leave me a pair of Leupold's.

Got mine at

Bowtech531 · 01-04-2009, 10:18 AM

I Hunt and shoot with a friend that has 3 pair, They are the clearest glass that i have saw in a long time. They will be my next glass for sure!! For the price they can not be beat hands down. He stated that with his first pair there were some issues, But not a problem . the service that he had was second to none he was extremely pleased with everything. Just waiting for my birthday to get my pair.

bigbuckslayer · 01-04-2009, 11:08 AM

Cool I've heard nothing but good things about the Vortex customer service!

harleyryder · 01-04-2009, 01:39 PM

Had one of their scopes,It was a excellent product...........

Utana Yona · 01-04-2009, 01:59 PM

I've been reading about these Vortex optics and everything I have heard has been A+. From the quality to the customer service - I hope I win so I can actually add to the positive things people are saying about these fine optics.

Such as this post from a customer from this very thread,

from wekilldeer:

JDJHNTR · 01-04-2009, 04:29 PM

I love my 8x42 Razors but would also like to have a Razor in the 8x32 size for bow season. Thanks for an outstanding product at an affordable price.

poorman · 01-04-2009, 04:58 PM

they have some great assecories also

russmyster · 01-04-2009, 05:09 PM

Is there a head to head test of these things?
I would like the sharpest,& brightest (unlike me) set of glass I can get...without running up my debt!
The Vulture 10 x 50 sounds like the ticket. Wish it was lighter.
I hope to try some!

bullfiddle · 01-04-2009, 06:16 PM

I don't know much about them yet but Tim has invited me to stop by his booth at the ATA show this coming week and give em a look over... I'll report back on my findings...

BowhuntnHoosier · 01-04-2009, 06:59 PM

I have been reading alot of reviews on Vortex and they seem to be very good optics. Hopefully very soon I can give a review of my own. Good luck to everyone here. Alot of first time posters, guys that have been members for quite awhile.

culleng · 01-04-2009, 07:37 PM

I have had the opportunity to look at the Vortex line of optics and have been very impressed with their products. I recommend their products to evryone I know.

BukWild · 01-04-2009, 07:52 PM

I hang out over at AT some and have NEVER heard but great things about this American company, and salute them for being so! I am currently looking for a rifle scope for one of my new toys and Vortex is a front runner for sure, now if I could just get the scope in a silver matte to match the rifle.

And thanks for this awesome give away! Vortex
