Don't know a thing about Vortex.
But, I bought an old Sightron S-II 6-24 scope for my entrance to long range Bench rest off ebay.
The parallax seemed to not coincide with the focus setting. Sent the scope back to Sightron. Bear in mind I am not the original owner of this scope and it was of unknown age. I got the scope back from Sightron in less than 2 weeks and it worked like new!
I have since bought a Night-Force bench rest scope for my 6BRX long range BR gun and recently a Sightron S-III 10-50 for my 284 WIN long range BR/F Class. I prefer the Sightron S-III over the N-F.
Incidentally, when I built the 284 WIN, I didn't have the S-III yet so I mounted the old S-II 6-24 on the new gun. I was amazed how good this scope is! I will NOT get rid of the S-II!
However, I was extremely pleased with the warranty response of Sightron concerning my old used scope.
