Looking out for you! LolAlways coming thru for your ol Tennessee pal!
I looked into that a few years ago. The discount was only available direct from Vortex and it was about 40% off listed msrp. Sounds good, but online prices are marked down significantly from msrp. The actual street price from retailers is about the same price as the discount price especially on sale or with a code at opticsplanet etc, with free shipping, so what's the point of going thru Vortex? It's mostly a fake discount. The LE sounds good but it's not really much of a discount at all, if any.There is also military and first responder discount.
The discount is about the same now but, I have compared Vortex direct prices against Europtics (with their first responder discount) and generally Vortex direct Mil/LE pricing is better.I looked into that a few years ago.

Leupold has a generous discount too, direct from Leupold, but most of the scopes are always out of stock, especially the popular scopes, you could be on the "notify me" wait list for years like me, it's always more than several months, sometimes items never show in stock. Meanwhile all those scopes are in stock all over the internet. It's a fake discount opportunity. I've tried to purchase several times thru their program and have never succeeded, I just give up and buy elsewhere online.
Vortex discount might be a little better, but it's not 40%, in reality it might be 5-10% tops compared to decent online prices. And I heard Vortex sometimes takes forever to ship.The discount is about the same now but, I have compared Vortex direct prices against Europtics (with their first responder discount) and generally Vortex direct Mil/LE pricing is better.
I can't say the amount I paid because that is part of the Mil/LE agreement but, I can say I paid substantially less than I could have gotten it through Europtic, or anywhere else, and I had it in about 7-10 days. I have found that USUALLY, Europtic is best price or close to it on Athlon though.Vortex discount might be a little better, but it's not 40%, in reality it might be 5-10% tops compared to decent online prices.

Not always direct from Vortex. I and my old shooting partner were given the Mil/LE discount right at the counter when buying our Vortex scopes at Sportsman Warehouse.I looked into that a few years ago.

The discount at Sportsman's is 5% which will pick up the sales tax in most states.Not always direct from Vortex. I and my old shooting partner were given the Mil/LE discount right at the counter when buying our Vortex scopes at Sportsman Warehouse.
