Anybody have experience with them? Thinking of going with a diamondback or possibly viper for my Ar308.

Everything I've ever heard about them is that they are GTG
There are criminals among us who are both homicidal and incorrigible. Their parents took a shot at civilizing them and failed. Their school teachers took a shot at them and failed. The odds are overwhelming that government welfare programs and penal institutions took a shot at them and failed. If it ever becomes your turn to take a shot at them, don’t fail.

I have a diamondback with BDC on my 700. I have had no issues with it. Paid about $200 or $250 IIRC.

I have a few. All good to go. No issues.

One customer service call to Vortex on a QD mount that came with a couple mounting screws missing. Easy fix. They sent extras via 2 day mail without so much as asking for a receipt.

I have three vipers in various flavors, one is a FFP PST. They all have excellent, clear glass. I am very happy with them. They are better than I need and much cheaper than Nightforce. Their customer service is legendary but I haven't needed it. Best quality to price value out there IMO.

Oh don't get me wrong I would love a Night force but I can't justify it til I am either feeding fewer rifles or out shooting my vortices lol
