Vortex Venom

[Presscollector]

It looked good in the store, mounted and at the range it's a total mess with light flare. My range faces east and it's impossible to shoot until late afternoon. This is not acceptable as other brands of scope I own do not have a flare issue.
I am stuck with this thing for now but looking for a suitable replacement.
I talked to a Vortex rep in August, he said it's the quality of the glass, I needed to move up to and even more expensive model. Looking through the two sies by side there is a difference, the Venom is milky, not really clear.

Rifle is a Savage 12 F/VR

Just venting, grrr

I have a Venom and don't have that problem. It was on a trade gun but its not a bad scope. Take it back and try another.

Having that problem even with the sunshade on it?

Yes, the sun shade seems to make no difference.

That’s odd. Mine never did that. I’d get with Vortex about warranty once over.
