    Firstly, Vortex. If you are here watching/reading this, I am sorry. I didnt destroy this just to send it back to try and get it replaced.
    Secondly, to all the viewer's. I do not recommend recreating anything you saw in the video for any reason what so ever. Deliberately destroying a scope to try and warranty it is Not cool.
    Previously reviewed this red dot shows that it is well built and serves as a good optics. It has given me years of trouble free service and never gave me a doubt of its capabilities... However, I always wondered just what it would take to 'kill' it.
    From getting caught outside in the rain, to a unfortunate fall off a table at the range. I try to cover a few key scenarios where I felt this red dot would be used in. Then one where maybe it wouldnt. It proves (to me anyway) that it is as sturdy as one could hope their optic to be. And gives me a whole new appreciation for it.
    Stay tuned for part II!

    You're absolutely correct. If your rifle falls, it wall always land on the optic. Great video.

    It's 3 years later and I don't see the 2nd review. Enjoyed this review, I bought one but haven't used it yet. It is big and heavy, I like the brightness and red or green light. Someone said they got a vortex 30mm low mount and liked that.

      Found their VIP warranty and it ends with::
      UNLIMITED LIFETIME WARRANTY
      FULLY TRANSFERABLE
      NO RECEIPT NEEDED
      The VIP Warranty does not cover loss, theft, deliberate damage or cosmetic damage that does not hinder the performance of the product.

  • @mattfuller3172
    @mattfuller3172 4 роки тому +4

    Curious Question, I got this optic when it first came out, it’s ran like a horse with Zero Flaws! I noticed that they have changed the brand logos on the optic & Vortex states it is a 4MOA however I have one with a 2 & 4MOA. I have never had any issues with them, I just wish you could still get it with 3x magnification without having to attach the VMX-3 to the rear. I have tested just about everything out there and Vortex has never failed me! Great Test! I would highly recommend anything they make for a wide range of applications!!!

    • @jedgashoots3989
      @jedgashoots3989 4 роки тому +1

      Hi I'm very curious about your comment about the brand logos on the optics, mine doesn't come with the written vortex label on the battery compartment, is that normal or I got a counterfeit ? I've seen both on UA-cam some with the logo and some without it, could you please give some info about it ?

    Would’ve loved to see the drop tests with the optic on a rifle. Maybe you can make a weight that you can attach the optic to in order to simulate the extra weight and momentum of a rifle attached to it?

    I hope if they say yes that you would have the decency to tell them you purposely broke it and was just testing if they would say yes or no. Should not expect to get a new scope because you purposely broke it and wanted a new one by lying about it...
